Dev team ... can please someone finally do it! Copy/paste text is one of the basic principles of using the web, what makes you think the grid is any different? It's like having a form without a submit button! ... you search for data you need in the grid ... once you found it, you want to copy it ... and you can't.
If there are any technical/performance concerns with it, let us know, let the community try to find a solution!
Biiiiig +1, all provided overrides are not working anymore or not in all browsers, and we definitely need the possibility to select text from a grid component.
It seems like it's a very common requirement to select text in a grid. I know my users demand it. There is an override for it in the grid faq for Ext 3. I just spent the last half hour or so trying to apply it to 4. It's similar, but now I have to override both View and TableChunker.
It was a good experience and I learned some new things about 4, but now I'm asking myself why. It seems like this long standing workaround deserves a new feature. Since you're so radically, redesigning the grids anyway, could you just give us a config option to make the text selectable and save everyone the hassle of having to find the overrides?
The same can be said for some of the other long standing grid cosmetic issues - letting lines wrap, for example, could be a config option.
I know of several other random threads on the subject but don't feel like searching them out...
I'm in the same boat. I did this in 3.x, but want to avoid overrides as much as possible since they are obviously hard to maintain so I'd like to wait until something more official is created. Perhaps some sort of addition to the selection models?
+1. An "excel" like grid would be a common use case, would it not? It would be really nice to drag over a range of cells, then copy and paste into a spreadsheet...
