Description

Originally by saumya


I have a Grid with selection mode Multi, by default this adds a column with checkbox. I dont want those checkbox for multi select. I want If user clicks on the row itself and with drag or while pressing control, it should perform multi selection.

Is there anyway possible with Grid to have multi select without a extra checkbox column. Please provide some solution for this.

Research direction

The issue names Vaadin Grid and its Multi selection mode but no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Grid selection implementation and existing selection tests, then determine how row, drag, and control-click selection should work without a checkbox column. Done means the requested interaction is supported and covered by tests.
