More fine-grained control on column/row selection behaviour

Glide-data-grid has very good support for column, row, and cell selection. However, it gets a bit complicated if certain selection aspects need to be deactivated. For example, the column selection can be fully deactivated via:

selectedColumns={CompactSelection.empty()}
onSelectedColumnsChange={() => {}}

However, the cursor will still show click behavior even though there is nothing to select anymore. Also, deactivation of multi/range-selection of columns or rows could be theoretically achieved by a custom implementation… but it might get a bit complicated to determine the actual cell the user clicked on for enforcing a proper single row/column only selection. A solution might be to have a configuration similar to rowMarkers - e.g.: columnSelectionMode?: "single" | "multi" | "none" - that manages the selection behaviour internally.

Yes that is their purpose. It still doesn’t let you prevent range selection but I will fix that prior to launch of 4.0

Awesome, thanks!
