In the grid selection example, https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/grid/selection/ , if I have existing rows checked, and I select another row, it removes the existing selections.  Is there a way to make selecting a row behave the same as checking the checkbox where it appends to current selection?  Basically, we want the same behavior as if you are selecting rows with CTRL pressed.

Hi Jacky,

The built-in support for multiple selection/deselection of rows (besides using the checkbox column) is described in the following section of our documentation:

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/grid/selection/#toc-multiple-selection-mode

A possible approach for customizing the built-in functionality is using the cellClick event handler to add and remove clicked items from the selection accordingly (set checkboxOnly to true for this approach to work):

I hope this helps.
