Table option to suppress checkbox column

[CobusT]

I see many uses of Table to just view the results in a table format without the need to have the table drive further down-selection. Although the checkboxes on the left are great for having the table drive the next steps (selected rows) it would be great to have an option to have the table without this column.

Perhaps an option like 'selectable' with a default of true?

"disabled" would seem like a sensible choice?

I think disabled would retain the checkboxes, but in a disabled state. I think I’d prefer a select option.

For now, as a workaround, I am adding this style sheet to Inputs.table where I want to hide the first column:

 .nocheckbox td:nth-child(1), .nocheckbox th:nth-child(1) {
    display: none;
  }
  .nocheckbox td:nth-child(2), .nocheckbox th:nth-child(2) {
    padding-left: 0px;
  }

For a css fix that wouldn't break the layout, we could consider visibility: hidden which should just toggle the visibility without affecting layout. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/visibility
