How can I dynamically switch between row selection and inline editing (with enableExcelCopyBuffer)?

/**

• Defaults to true, which leads to use an Excel like copy buffer that gets copied in clipboard and can be pasted back in Excel or any other app.
• NOTE: please note that this option will NOT work when "Row Selection" & "Row Move" are enabled, because features are conflicting with each other.
  */
  enableExcelCopyBuffer?: boolean;

Because of the limitation with enableExcelCopyBuffer we're looking at having a toggle that switches between an edit and a select mode. When isEditMode changes we reset the gridOptions and call slickGrid.init(). This only works but only when going from select mode to edit. When going the other way, the checkboxes do not reappear?

I'd like to avoid doing something like

<aurelia-slickgrid 
 if.bind="editModeOn"
  ...
>
<aurelia-slickgrid 
 if.bind="!editModeOn"
  ...
>

The reason is because they both use different Selection Models (SlickRowSelectionModel vs SlickCellSelectionModel), you could maybe try to instantiate new ones when switching mode. Someone posted a similar approach on Stack Overflow, I never tried it and I'm not sure that really works without confusing the Dependency Injection, you could try it and don't call grid.init() as much as possible because that's probably a bad idea since it resets a few things

Out of topic, I left some comments in your opened PR and waited to do a release but I want to do one in the coming days with or without your PR. I'm getting closer to a Slickgrid-Universal new major alpha release and want current master branch to be fully released before a major alpha release, however on the Aurelia side the next major (before Christmas) will migrate and require Aurelia 2. I also don't usually support older version once new major versions are out, I just got too many libs to support for free

That's all good, I'm going to have to put that PR aside for the time being. I might revisit if there's time for bug fixing, but unfortunately work priorities have changed.
