Add Option to "de-select" all columns in Table Cell #570

Closed asg017 closed 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When my table data has dozens of columns and I only care about a few of them, I currently have to de-select all of them one-by-one which is extremely tiring.

Describe the solution you'd like A new "deselect all cells" option at the top that will de-select all the columns in the list. Kindof like the "show all" option that appears, but does the exact opposite. image

Describe alternatives you've considered Clicking all the columns one by one to turn them off. Very tedious, though

@asg017 there's an "only" button that shows up to the right of any column when you hover over it, and you can click that to select only that column. that should let you quickly deselect all other columns and then build up your selection from there.

I had completely missed that - thank you!
