Based on lots of beta feedback, the most requested missing feature of TanStack Table has been Cell Selection and Keyboard Navigation.
And now, an official cellSelectionFeature has been added to V9!
I originally started out thinking that we could just build an official example, showing you how to implement this stuff yourself, but then after I built it, I thought that it should at least be an official plugin. And then after just a couple hours more of refinement, I just ended up adding it as a stock feature. 😂
There are a couple reasons why this is now a new built-in stock feature:
1. In V9, all features are opt-in, so this doesn't bloat the js bundle for anyone not using it.
2. The keyboard navigation part of this feature is actually not a part of this TanStack Table feature... because that gets handled by TanStack Hotkeys!
