Igniteui-angular: [igx-grid] range row selection capability by Shift+Click

[tkiryu]

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

Currently, we can't select multiple rows in a certain range at once. We have to select rows one by one.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like igx-grid to have a capability for range row selection by Shift+Click as a built-in feature.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've implemented the feature as a directive.

Here is a code.
range-row-selection.directive.ts

Additional context

Gmail web version has this feature.

@tkiryu We have already logged such a feature request, so will review it and will implement it as a build in feature. Thank you for the solution with the directive!

@Lipata , thanks!

@tkiryu We are now going to work on issues #4989 and #4998 and will have some improvements and changes related to cell and row selections. When both are implemented then we can consider again this issue and find a solution in the new context. Until then this issue is on hold.

@tkiryu this functionality is now available in the 8.2.0-beta.0 version and will be released with the official 8.2.0 release. You can give it a try and if you have any questions or concerns just share them here.
