Copy Paste event beforeCopy

We have a scenario where we want to require/control what cells are selected prior to a User starting a Copy - basically if the User is copying Column X we also need to have Column X+1 copied. I cannot find an event or place to make this check/additional selection; one thought would be to have a beforeCopy event that can be captured and the selection modified prior to anything going to the clipboard. Am I missing these events, or is there some other way to accomplish this goal?

Thanks!

Hi @dvomsaal

Thank you for contacting us. Did you try with our beforeCopy hook? https://handsontable.com/docs/react-data-grid/api/hooks/#beforecopy I think that should work with combination of selectCells method: https://handsontable.com/docs/react-data-grid/api/core/#selectcells

You would have to programmatically select the cells within the additional column so they can be added to copying operation.
