Cannot select individual column headers using shift click or ctrl click on MacOS

olgibbons commented 4 weeks ago

I could only drag and select adjacent column headings. I tried both shift click and ctrl click on MacOS, but it didn't seem to work.

Are you trying to select non-contiguous cells in the selection to act as headers? e.g. columns 1, 3 and 5?

I managed to get it to work with CTRL+Click. You have to click on the first one without holding control, but then hold down CTRL when you select the other cells. There are however two downsides to this currently:

It shows the context menu (as if I had right-clicked)
It doesn't store the selection correctly as we currently store top-left row+column and bottom-right row+column so expect a contiguous range. What happens in this case is that the selection ends up being the last selected cell. We would need to properly handle multiple-selections.

https://github.com/register-dynamics/data-import/pull/81 makes a start on this by switching the key combo to cmd on mac.
