Description

I'd like to see essentially the exact same thing as this person is requesting here: https://github.com/adazzle/react-data-grid/issues/86

I'd like to be able copy & paste a range of rows and columns, similar to what you can do in Excel at the moment.

this could be copying between cell ranges on the same grid, between two separate grid instances, or from somewhere off-grid (e.g. Excel).

Would this be possible to do with this component? If so it would be awesome!

Thanks!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the current grid cell selection logic and clipboard API (e.g., clipboard events, DataTransfer). Look at how Excel handles multiple cell copy/paste (ranges). Consider implementing both copy from grid and paste into grid, using a tab separated format for multiple cells.
