Select a row without the actual cell selection [message #1816920]

Hello,

I have a configured NatTable with some custom features. In some cases I want to search the information in the table using the filter, so the entered pattern matches the certain rows in my table and then shows it via applying the selection to the first row. For now I use the method selectRow in the SelectionLayer class and set the column position to the value of -1 so there are not any specific columns to be technically selected (I do need this functional exactly) But the problem shows up when I try to edit selected row even if it is prohibited to edit rows - the NPE is beeing thrown

... and other throws

So the question is how can I select the row without any technical cell selection.
Any help is appreciated...

Thanks,
Alex

I am quite confused about this.

First, which NatTable version are you using? Because I am not able to reproduce this with a current code base.
Second, how do you want to start editing without an active selection anchor?

This does not really make sense. Especially if you want to support editing via key bindings. I mean, what should happen if there is no selection anchor? Which cell should be edited? What should happen on pressing the arrow keys?

Actually I am not sure if you really need a selection or if you simply need to highlight the row similar to selection. Because it sounds like you don't want a selection, just a highlighting.
