- Like many have stated, the first cell can not be selected in the range.

- Great extension, but I'm facing an issue similar to other users. When selecting the first row, it selects the header instead and skips the first row. It might be an issue with DataTable library. Otherwise. Great work! Thank you
- DPI Inventory
- It's good. Just need some update like, when press Mouse Click & Ctrl + Down Arrow it will be scroll at the end of the table or page with selected cell or data. And I found a bug that second row can't select anymore. It's select 1st, third, fourth, five.... column. It's not select second row even I click there individually. Please update option & solve the bug. Overall this extension is best.

- Seems to be broken with phpMyAdmin. Used to work. when trying to select the first row, it gets the header and its offset to a later column also.
- Igor Ribeiro
- Doesnt work fine on MacOs.
- Lukáš Dunaj
- Awesome! Must have extension. Idea: Please could it copy the value of an input field that is located inside a cell, too ?
- Andrey Lappo
- In Mozilla Firefox, a table range can be selected even if it does not completely fit within the frame. This add-on does not allow you to select such ranges; automatic scrolling as you select does not work.
- A Lee
- Pretty good, its the only extension I have found that replicates what Firefox does. Only failing was that this does not scroll down the page as you select, you have to do that manually resulting in multiple cut and pastes, whereas in Firefox only one is needed.
- Andrii Makukha
- It works! On MacOS: Option + click = select individual cells. Control + C = copy (will remove "selection").
- George Lewe
- It helps out if needed and you are stuck with Chrome. Unfortunately, it pastes a single cell (copied with Ctrl+Click or Alt+Click) as plain text with no line breaks and other formatting. That makes it useless for me. I hope for this feature in a future release.

- I mean its working. Its not leaving a Java script entry. At least not visibly.. And if you use a different extension to disable scroll wheel zoom from the chrome store, you can hold ctrl and scroll out of view and more or less will retain the selection. copy will remove the selection but should be there. just paste. The hold ctrl and alt, select is janky and does not hold the selection. so just use either or alt or ctrl drag.

- Seemed to select nicely, but didn't seem to copy. Only gave it a limited trial.

- This has Two Serious Bugs. 1 It will embed a " javascript-event-stripped" entry into whatever you copy paste it, and it will appear visibly sometimes making errors in your edits entries etc. 2 Sometimes it will not Highlight what you pass the mouse over, causing you to have to move the mouse over that line again to ensure its selected. 3 - nit pick, it should inform you that contents were copies successfully to clipboard. The highlight just disappears as the only indication it was copied.

- 単独セルを選択したい場合は、Alt+Click。複数で飛び飛びのセルも選択可能。 範囲選択したい場合は、Ctrlを押したまま希望範囲をマウスでなぞる。 青枠で選択された状態でCtrl+Cでコピー ◆コピー方法の工夫が欲しい。 選択後に右クリックメニューでコピー可能にして欲しい。

- Very similar to FF but not quite. 1. It does not scroll the window to select rows/columns that are not visible. 2. It will not pick both the table title and table rows. Hopefully it is updated in the future so I can try again sometime. Unfortunately, being removed from Chrome for now.
