I'm experimenting. I want to be able to deselect a selected row on a `mode.selection: single` table.

If I use `Configure Events ... > onRowDoubleClick`,

```python
def runAction(self, event):
	self.props.selection.selectedColumn = None
	self.props.selection.selectedRow = None

```

it works.

If I try to use Ctrl-click rather than double-click I use `onRowClick`,

```python
def runAction(self, event):
	if event.ctrlKey:
		self.props.selection.selectedColumn = None
		self.props.selection.selectedRow = None

```

but get an error:  
`AttributeError: 'com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.script.ada' object has no attribute 'ctrlKey'`

Can anyone spot the grand flaw in my approach?

Many thanks!

Log a `dir(event)` in that action to see what might be possible. Not all script wrappers do the conventional NetBeans substitutions for getters/setters.

The row click/double click events only get `row`, `rowIndex`, and `value` keys.
