Grid: select row using up/down keys?

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8 Framework UI

Hi,
by default the grid only selects single cells when you are navigating through it using the UP/ DOWN keys.
For selecting the whole row, you need to press the spacebar.

Is it possible to select the rows directly using up/down keys?

Thanks!!

Hi,

You can create a custom client-side modification to your Grid that listens to those same navigation events and updates the selection based on that. You can read the basics on these kinds of modifications at
this bog post
. Basically you will listen to GridKeyDown events and updating the selection when needed through Grid’s API.
