    Hello Philippe,

    Thank you for posting in our community!

    I have been looking into your question and an approach I could suggest in order to achieve your requirement is defining a custom template, that will be used when a cell is in edit mode, and using the igxFocus and igxTextSelection directives as the igxFocus will focus the element that it is applied to, and igxTextSelection will select the content of the element. Afterwards, this template should be set to the cellEditorTemplate property of each column that requires it.

    Additionally, in order to demonstrate my suggestion, I have prepared a small sample where I am using the abovementioned approach and as could be observed in the attached GIF file, when entering edit mode for any cell (i.e., double or single click), the value of the cell is selected.

    Here could be found my sample for your reference. Please test it on your side and let me know if you need any further assistance.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Sincerely,
