## Configuration Options
165+
The data grid has copy-and-paste capabilities similar to a spreadsheet. You can
166+
select:
167+
168+
* A single cell
169+
* A rectangular range of cells
170+
* One or more entire rows
171+
* One or more entire columns
172+
173+
To copy a single value, click on the cell of interest and either press
174+
**Ctrl-C** (on Windows and Linux) or **Cmd-C** (on macOS). You can also copy
175+
using the right-click context menu:
176+
177+
![Data Grid Cell Context Menu](images/data-explorer-copy-cell-context-menu.png){width=300}
178+
179+
To copy a rectangular range of cells, first click on a cell, then hold the
180+
**Shift** key and click on another cell to select the range of interest. Then
181+
either press **Ctrl-C**/**Cmd-C** or use the context menu to copy:
182+
183+
![Copying a Rectangular Range of Cells](images/data-explorer-copy-rectangular-range.png){width=500}
184+
185+
When you copy a rectangular range of cells, the values are copied along with the
186+
column names in tab-separated format to ease pasting into Excel or Google
187+
Sheets.
188+
189+
To copy whole rows or columns, click on the first row label or column label then
190+
either hold **Shift** and click on another row or column label to select a
191+
range, or use **Ctrl-C**/**Cmd-C** to select individual rows or columns, but not
192+
necessarily a range:
193+
194+
![Copying Multiple Data Rows](images/data-explorer-copy-whole-rows.png){width=500}
195+
196+
![Copying Multiple Data Columns](images/data-explorer-copy-whole-columns.png){width=500}
197+
198+
Like copying a rectangular range of cells, copying an entire row or column will
199+
include the column names in the tab-separated output.
