HI @hadyelzayady,

An improvement could be - When using shift + arrow on row selection checkbox, it will change the selection of complete row and not just the row selection box.

@hadyelzayady @amanmahajan7 looking forward to have this available. thanks.

Is anyone maintaining this project concerned with bringing this PR in? Would be really great to have the same features we already had in v5, I assumed upgrading would bring me an improved experience, not one where a major feature of excel-like data grids was dropped. @nstepien @amanmahajan7

@hadyelzayady I've rebased your PR on top of current main and modified it to allow selection of multiple ranges. It's hacky, but works good enough for my usecase. It's available here, and released as @pikpok/react-data-grid.
If you don't have anything against it and don't want to take care of this topic anymore, I can try to make it into a better state and submit a new PR. I see that there's some interest in getting this feature merged 🙂

[hadyelzayady]

@pikpok That is fine, I lost interest anyway despite having other features in my mind back then

@pikpok would you mind tidying up your fork and getting a PR up for multi select? Lots of people want this feature.

We forked rdg and applied this PR (with some required changes) to use for pgAdmin here - https://github.com/pgadmin-org/react-data-grid. The latest commit is adding the range selection.
