Can DataTable select multiple rows at once ?

[mrllama123]

I.e take this app (copied from the docs):

from textual.app import App, ComposeResult
from textual import on
from textual.widgets import DataTable

ROWS = [
    ("lane", "swimmer", "country", "time"),
    (4, "Joseph Schooling", "Singapore", 50.39),
    (2, "Michael Phelps", "United States", 51.14),
    (5, "Chad le Clos", "South Africa", 51.14),
    (6, "László Cseh", "Hungary", 51.14),
    (3, "Li Zhuhao", "China", 51.26),
    (8, "Mehdy Metella", "France", 51.58),
    (7, "Tom Shields", "United States", 51.73),
    (1, "Aleksandr Sadovnikov", "Russia", 51.84),
    (10, "Darren Burns", "Scotland", 51.84),
]


class TableApp(App):
    def compose(self) -> ComposeResult:
        yield DataTable()

    def on_mount(self) -> None:
        table = self.query_one(DataTable)
        table.add_columns(*ROWS[0])
        table.add_rows(ROWS[1:])

app = TableApp()
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()

Lets say i wanted to select these two rows:

(2, "Michael Phelps", "United States", 51.14),
(5, "Chad le Clos", "South Africa", 51.14),

Is there a way to do that ? From looking at the code it doesn't seem so. Any suggestions on how to do this would be appreciated if so

There isn't any way to select multiple rows in a DataTable I'm afraid.

• [DataTable] Allow multiple row (or column!) to be selected  #1884
• Is it possible to select multiple rows in a DataTable? #3606
