Sticky table header and columns (action checkbox column and first field column).

[fabiocaccamo]

It would be very useful having the possibility to set sticky table columns in the changelist (action checkbox column if actions are enabled + list_display_links columns), and also in the tabular inlines table.

This feature would improve tables UX, especially when there is horizontal scroll.

NOTE: should test also with RTL languages.

I haven’t seen horizontal scroll 😮
I’ve had to limit size of data in some column to avoid the entry taking two lines.

Horinzontal scroll starts when you have many columns in a changelist.

Setting word-wrap: nowrap to each cell could be another improvement to avoid content on multiple lines.

Hello ! It would be nice to also have the possibility to keep the headers frozen when scrolling down. I don't know if that should be in a separate enhancement proposal. Thanks !

@Matthias64 cool suggestion! It's ok having just this issue, I update the title.

UPDATE: it seems impossible to achieve this while keeping the horizontal scroll working on the change-list table, because position: sticky; doesn't work if any parent element has overflow set:
