Checkboxes Demo

Intro

This project demos a Handsontable custom editor.

The code for the editor itself was taken from the link below, as suggested here:

https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable/blob/master/src/editors/selectEditor.js

Problem

We'd like to understand how to handle focus correctly, using either the button in the editor or the ENTER key, to end editing and pass back focus to the table. We'd like this to work with single and multiple cell selections.

The original forum post with more detail is here:

Project structure

There seem like a lot of files, as we've broken them out of a larger project, with reusable config, settings, etc.

The handsontable-specific files are in:

src/plugins/handsontable/*

The editor-specific files are in:

src/plugins/handsontable/editors/*
