# Cell Selection

Spreadsheet-style range selection, including the awkward parts

## What this does

You want a table where people can drag across a block of cells the way they do in a spreadsheet - or you built that and the selection keeps changing when it shouldn't. This covers how ranges are added, subtracted, and resolved, including when columns are pinned or the rows get reordered. Reach for it when dragging feels wrong or copying out doesn't match what's highlighted.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Let people drag across a block of cells
- Build a select-all-except-these behavior
- Work out why a range shifts after sorting

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Cell Selection

This covers rectangular cell selection through cellSelectionFeature: include and exclude operations applied in order and keyed by row and column id, dragging with a modifier held, the final positive bounds of a range, and the edges of a selection.

It also covers the harder ground around selection - how render order resolves when columns are pinned, and what autoResetCellSelection does to your ranges.

Read it if you're building spreadsheet-style selection, need a select-all-except-these behavior, are chasing ranges that change unexpectedly after sorting or reordering, are looking at drag performance, or are wiring copy-to-clipboard.

## Questions

### Is Cell Selection safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Cell Selection and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit d9cca007c015, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/cell-selection.

### How do I install Cell Selection?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/cell-selection on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/TanStack/table/tree/d9cca007c015b0253a17c30b75b602445782ed12/packages/table-core/skills/cell-selection. Install from that link, not the branch.
