Description

Symptom: Unable to select multiple cells while holding down Ctrl and clicking.

Tested for ui-grid v3.0.0-rc.22-e8fe073 Functionality works for Firefox v38.0.5. Able to replicate issue on the Cell Navigation Tutorial example at http://ui-grid.info/docs/#/tutorial/202_cellnav.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the CellNav modifierKeysToMultiSelectCells implementation. Trace how the Ctrl+click event is handled, focusing on the event properties (e.g., event.ctrlKey, event.button) and ensure compatibility with IE11's event model. Check if any polyfills or fallback logic are needed for older Internet Explorer versions.
