Display full text in cell easily

Open enjeck opened this issue 2 months ago • 3 comments

If the text in the cell is longer than column can display, it seems you can't see the full content unless you open the Edit window or export the whole table. I think this is not straightforward and not logical when you just need to view the content.

Quick ideas:

  • the ability to manually adjust the column width for your view, or even simpler - a tip with full content when you hover the mouse over it.
  • Another idea could be wrapping the text and have variable height rows

To add another idea, ability to expand the row on click would be nice. Keep rows the same height, and if user needs to see more data hidden in that row, they click on a plus button or chevron down button to expand the row down. Typical expand/collapse feature.

I second @viktorix's idea. Looks a bit easier to implement and as effective as the other ideas.
