I currently find it very hard to read wide tables in TableView as I lose my bearing on which row I'm looking at when scrolling. I have two suggestion for improving this:
-
Making the Row colum a fixed column that exists "outside" the table, in the same way the column headers do - I think I originally suggested this when submitting the feature request on the row numbering column, so there might be reasons for not doing this
-
Extend the cell selection frame (the little blue border box around a cell that appears when clicking on a cell) to the whole row - it seems to me like just selecting a single cell to highlight offers few benefits to the user, while selecting a row in that way would allow keeping a row highlighted when scrolling horizontally.
