feat: highlighting copied cells #607

Is it possible to add a feature that highlights copied cells with a visible border or indicator, similar to how Excel displays copied cells?

Hi,

Great question! We already have a feature like this in our Pro version called the Flash Cells Plugin. It highlights cells that have been pasted or changed based on your configuration, similar to how Excel indicates copied cells.

While this functionality is part of the Pro version and not included as a core feature, we encourage collaboration! If you’re interested, you could develop a similar feature for the free version. You would need to track the cells that have been changed recently through the plugin to achieve this.

Thanks for suggesting this idea! We appreciate your input!

Thank you for the response! I reviewed the Flash Cells Plugin demo, and it looks promising for our use case. However, I’ve noticed that it doesn’t exactly replicate the visual cue when copying cells, similar to Excel's visible border around copied cells.

To clarify my feature request: Would it be possible to extend or adjust the Flash Cells Plugin to highlight copied (not just pasted) cells with a visible border or indicator until the next user action, just like Excel? This would make it easier for users to keep track of copied data before pasting, especially when working with larger grids.

Here’s a quick demo to visualize the behavior I’m referring to: highlighting copied cells demo

Let me know if this enhancement is something you'd consider or if I could help further refine the idea. Appreciate your time and feedback!
