Interaction
Clicking a cell will:
Sets select the focus to that cell.
Selects the cell
Deselects deselect all other cells.
change the cell to an input field, allowing the user to edit it.
If the cell is already in focus, clicking the cell will place the insertion point
on cursor location.
Hitting the Enter key set the focus to the cell below the current cellwhen a cell is selected or focused will:
save the text in the cell (if it exists).
exit edit mode, returning the cell to the selected state.
Hitting the Tab key sets the focus to the right of the current cell
Selecting multiple cells can be done in one of two ways:
Dragging the cursor over a group of cell. In this case the first selected cell gets the focus
Clicking cells while holding the Ctrl / Cmd key. In this case the last selected cell gets the focus
Typing text will enter the text to the cell that is in focus, replacing any other text in the cell
A newly added text in a cell will be updated in the cell after losing focus (either by clicking another cell or using the Enter / Tab key)
A cell in focus or a group of cells that were selected by dragging will show a distinctive point at the bottom-right corner of the cell / the selected area
Dragging the point to other cells when a cell is selected or focused will:
save the text in the cell (if it exists).
deselect the cell.
move the focus to the next cell (to the right of the current one), while skipping disabled cells. If the focused cell is the last one on the row, hitting Tab will set the focus to the first cell of the next row.
Dragging the cursor over a group of cells selects that group of cells.
A focused cell will have a special handle in the bottom-right corner. See States above.
Hovering over the handle will switch the cursor to a cross.
Dragging the handle will copy the content of the cell to the target cells
Edge Cases
if the text typed in a cell is longer than the cell
Restricting data while typing (e.g allow only digits)
