feat: cmd + click to select multiple, unconnected cells

Open jimniels opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

As with Sheets and Excel, support CMD + CLICK to select multiple cells that are not sequential in a row or column.

cmd-click-select

Not sure of the use case for this. If anyone has one, feel free to reopen.

I'm re-opening. I try to do this all the time, where I want to select multiple cells on a sheet that aren't directly in sequence.

For example: I want to grab these two cells and paint them both the same color at the same time.

Why can't I just click in one, then cmd+click the other, the formatting bar shows up (on the last one I clicked on) and I change the color.

I expect to use this command because it's an OS-level feature (and apps like Figma have it for multi-selection).

Once we implement this, we should add this functionality to the formula inline editor, so you can insert multiple cells using the cmd/ctrl key.

FYI: This will require a major rework of all the quadratic-core functions so they accept a list of SheetRects instead of a single one. Sigh.
