Table updates​

Working with Table just got a lot more efficient thanks to major improvements to keyboard navigation and new UI for multi-row selection!

Keyboard navigation​

We’ve vastly expanded keyboard navigation support in Table, enabling your end users to work much more quickly.

Use the arrow keys to move between cells, with up/down now respecting the sort order (a long-standing bug). On editable cells, hit** **Enter to edit or just start typing to replace the content. Hit Enter again to commit your edits and move down a row, Tab to commit and move to the next column, or Esc to revert. You can also clear the focused cell with Delete/Backspace and copy the contents with CMD+C (**CTRL+C**).

We also added a Double click to edit option in the Inspector section, on by default for upgraded Tables. Turn this off to return to the old single-click mode.

Existing Table components can be upgraded in the Inspector, enabling keyboard navigation and converting all columns to the new column types announced a few weeks back. To access legacy column types, choose Downgrade component from the ••• menu.

Checkbox selection​

We’ve also added an optional checkbox column for Tables with multi-row selection enabled. When the setting is turned on (Use checkbox column for selection under** Row Selection**), an additional column will appear on the left with checkboxes to control row selection. The header also includes a checkbox to instantly select every row, along with a menu to select all rows on the current page.

Fixes and improvements​

  • Added a new "Auto" height option for Modules, allowing them to resize themselves to fit their contents
  • Fixed Form components in Modules so that validation and submit buttons work properly
  • Added support to control which menu items are highlighted in the Navigation component
  • Fixed dynamic height components so that they don't shift the canvas layout when deleted
  • Increased the size of handles on components to make resizing easier
  • Improved drag-and-drop such that moving a component into a Container component will preserve its width as much as possible
  • Fixed action buttons for the Table component so that they fire on first click in editor mode
  • Fixed the editor canvas so it does not change it's size when dragging components
  • Fixed component selection so that hidden containers stay visible when you're selecting any component inside of them
  • Fixed the Slider component and the Range Slider component's outputs when the value is over 1,000
  • Fixed layout issues with dragging around hidden components
  • Fixed an edge case where style editor colors would occasionally display incorrectly
  • Fixed an issue where you could not programmatically call selectRow in Table components with multiple selection enabled
  • Added the ability to dynamically set whether a Table component supports selecting multiple rows
