How to unhide columns after hiding them

I understand how to hide columns on handsontable, however, I am a bit confused on how to give my users the ability to unhide the columns.

For example you can use a context menu for showing columns like on this demo Column hiding - JavaScript Data Grid | Handsontable

I see it works in the demo, but it doesn’t seem to work for me. I don’t see the ‘show columns’ in the context menu

You need to select both columns (bo you keep the hidden columns between the two selected)

this doesn’t seem to be working for me, even after selecting both columns

The selection of columns has to be done smoothly (one move from left to right or right to left)

left-right

It will not work if you hold CTRL/CMD and click columns one by one cause then the hidden columns are not caught in the selection area.
