Making ExtJS 4 grid content selectable

Question

Grids in ExtJS 4 (Sencha) don’t allow to select content by default. But I want to make this possible.

I've tried this grid config:

viewConfig: {
    disableSelection: true,
    stripeRows: false,
    getRowClass: function(record, rowIndex, rowParams, store){
        return "x-selectable";
    }
},

with these css classes (basically targeting every element I can see in Chrome):

/* allow grid text selection in Firefox and WebKit based browsers */

.x-selectable,
.x-selectable * {
                -moz-user-select: text !important;
                -khtml-user-select: text !important;
    -webkit-user-select: text !important;
}

.x-grid-row td,
.x-grid-summary-row td,
.x-grid-cell-text,
.x-grid-hd-text,
.x-grid-hd,
.x-grid-row,

.x-grid-row,
.x-grid-cell,
.x-unselectable
{
    -moz-user-select: text !important;
    -khtml-user-select: text !important;
    -webkit-user-select: text !important;
}

I know that you can override the grid row template in Ext 3 as below, but I don't know how to do the same in Ext 4:

templates: {
    cell: new Ext.Template(
    '<td class="x-grid3-col x-grid3-cell x-grid3-td-{id} x-selectable {css}" style="{style}" tabIndex="0" {cellAttr}>',
           '<div class="x-grid3-cell-inner x-grid3-col-{id}" {attr}>{value}</div>',
    '</td>'
    )
}

Any suggestions much appreciated.

You can add it like this, using renderer for the column

columns: [
    {
        header: "",
        dataIndex: "id",
        renderer: function (value, metaData, record, rowIndex, colIndex, store) {
            return this.self.tpl.applyTemplate(record.data);
        },
        flex: 1
    }
],
statics: {
    tpl: new Ext.XTemplate(
        '<td class="x-grid3-col x-grid3-cell x-grid3-td-{id} x-selectable {css}" style="{style}" tabIndex="0" {cellAttr}>',
            '<div class="x-grid3-cell-inner x-grid3-col-{id}" {attr}>{value}</div>',
        '</td>')
}
