Wow! Thank you to whoever built this. It should be a native option inside of Google Sheets, but this works perfectly. My only feature request would be the ability to activate it per sheet, or even per tab. I have no idea if this is possible, but some simple sheets don't need this. Thanks again random person on the internet that built something I love and can't live without.

Прекрасное и очень удобное расширение, работает как задумано. Можно настроить также выделение по столбцам. Поразительно, как этой фичи нет в Sheets по умолчанию.
