Research direction

Start with the Shiny documentation at https://rstudio.github.io/DT/shiny.html and review the related issues #305, #706, and #565 for the established behavior. Update the documentation to state whether shift+click or click-and-hold supports multi-row selection, with completion marked by a clear user-facing explanation.

Description

The docs at https://rstudio.github.io/DT/shiny.html do not state whether shift + click (or click & hold) works for multi-row selection.

So, one must browse through all of the the issues on this topic (e.g., https://github.com/rstudio/DT/issues/305, https://github.com/rstudio/DT/issues/706, and https://github.com/rstudio/DT/issues/565) to determine whether such as feature exists. It would be helpful for users of the DT package to know that shift + click is not implemented (at least, AFAIK from reading all of the related issues).


By filing an issue to this repo, I promise that

  • I have fully read the issue guide at https://yihui.org/issue/.
  • I have provided the necessary information about my issue.
    • If I'm asking a question, I have already asked it on Stack Overflow or RStudio Community, waited for at least 24 hours, and included a link to my question there.
    • If I'm filing a bug report, I have included a minimal, self-contained, and reproducible example, and have also included xfun::session_info('DT'). I have upgraded all my packages to their latest versions (e.g., R, RStudio, and R packages), and also tried the development version: remotes::install_github('rstudio/DT').
    • If I have posted the same issue elsewhere, I have also mentioned it in this issue.
  • I have learned the Github Markdown syntax, and formatted my issue correctly.

I understand that my issue may be closed if I don't fulfill my promises.
