Checkbox: Treating selection differently than focus

[ronnyek]

So I've looked I found this post, and with the documents for v2, I was able to get this to work some of the way...
#13

I'd like to have the checkboxes control selection, and not so much just clicking text in a tree node. I'm not sure if this is something that is possible... but so far I've done something like this in the node renderer...

 <Checkbox checked={node.isSelected} onChange={()=>{
                node.selectMulti(node.data.id, !node.isSelected);
            }}/>

Right now, it still seems like the checkboxes only appear on the the rows focused. Is there a way to treat focus and selection separately? I'd prefer not to require users to have to click with modifier keys and would rather just have mutli-selection with checkboxs by clicking checkbox.

Is this as simple as somehow overriding node click somehow to set focus, but not selection? I tried playing with the selectionFollowsFocus but honestly could not even tell what that was doing.
