[data grid] Change clipboard copy behaviour/precedence?

[mike-paretos]

The problem in depth

We have a table with a checkbox selection with the selection of the row on click disabled. (basically https://mui.com/x/react-data-grid/row-selection/#disable-row-selection-on-click)

Let's assume a user has selected a couple of rows. Then, a user selects a cell and wants to copy it.

The current behavior it always copies the selected rows (with the checkboxes), but not the selected cell.

Question Is there a possibility to prevent that behavior and copy selected cell content instead of the content of selected rows?

Basically, we need the possibility to change the priorities that are described here (https://mui.com/x/react-data-grid/clipboard/#clipboard-copy), making the 'If there is a single cell selected, the single cell is copied' the top priority.

Hey @mike-paretos, afaik this is currently not possible. We could introduce a new prop specifically for clipboard copy, like clipboardCopyPrecedence with predefined values ['multiCell', 'row', 'singleCell']

WDYT @cherniavskii ?
