Description

Hi, first, thanks for the feature-ful library!

I'm migrating to react-bootstrap-table from an older Backgrid solution and have come across an issue when replicating navigation from a row. In my old tables, you were able to highlight a row like so... 2017-04-12 at 12 36 pm ...where pressing enter would trigger a row handler and to allow a behavior.

In react-bootstrap-table I get a selection around the selection checkbox but I don't seem to be able to perform the similar action upon the row.

2017-04-12 at 12 46 pm

The row itself needs a tabindex attribute to enable this. I also don't seem to be able to add a keyboard handler to a row (I've found keyBoardNav in the source but it's undocumented).

So two questions:

  1. Is there currently a way to add a tabindex to a tr instead of a td?
  2. Is there a way to add a keyboard event handler to a row?

Many thanks.
