Select Row Automatically When Editing a Cell

[hiteshkrmsft]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When a cell enters edit mode, the row is not always selected.
This makes it unclear which row is being edited and can require extra clicks to select it manually.

For example in File Explorer, while editing the cell, the row is selected -

Describe the solution you'd like
When editing starts in a cell:

• Automatically select the corresponding row
• Keep the row selected while editing
  Optional:
• Add a property like SelectionFollowsEdit to control this behavior

Why this helps

• Clearer UX — users can easily see which row is being edited
• Matches expected behavior from typical data grid controls
• Reduces boilerplate for developers

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Manually setting SelectedItem in edit/focus events
• Handling focus inside editing controls
  These approaches add extra code and are not reliable.

Additional context
I have POC for this and would like to contribute and open a PR.

Thanks for the detailed observation and your willingness to contribute! Feel to open up a PR at any time.

I think if we select the row itself when the cell editing started event fires, it could trigger a selection change event, which might cause issues for those who use that event for other purposes. However, I completely agree that there should be some row level indication when a cell is being edited. So instead of selecting it, we could simply highlight the row or display an edit icon on the row header.
