Since canary.10, I cannot select a range of cells by mouse or keyboard anymore. I noticed that canary.10 introduced an new API and I adopted it, but I cannot find an option to activate cell range selection, which obviously is now disabled by default.

What am I missing?

Same issue here. I see the SelectionRangeMasks have been removed. Are there any plans to bring this back?

Hi Team,

Any plans to update on Cell range selection. I tried below config it is not working. it is very need feature as part of providing EXCEL sheet.

cellRangeSelection={{
onStart: args => console.log(rows),
onUpdate: args => console.log(rows),
onComplete: args => console.log(rows)
}}

Thanks team for great component

Hi Team,
same wish to get this feature back , here :)

What happened to this method ?
Any reason you removed this functionality ?

[amanmahajan7]

Cell range selection was quite buggy so we have removed it from canary for now but we have plans to add it back in the near future. However at this point this feature has not been prioritized. We are happy to accept a PR. Thank you all for you patience
