Slate interface in 0.40.0 change removes selection.startKey

[andrewdrane]

The latest slate change removes the selection.startKey value and replaced with selection.start.key
The util function isSelectionInTable (and several others) will always return False. This was deprecated in 0.37.0 and removed in 0.40.0

There is a long list of deprecations that were removed, startKey is just the one that was most visible. I downgraded Slate to version 0.39.0 and the table plugin works as expected.

I also encountered the same problem, I hope the author can find time to solve

See https://github.com/GitbookIO/slate-edit-table/pull/88/files#diff-04c6e90faac2675aa89e2176d2eec7d8

There's a library called https://github.com/jasonphillips/slate-deep-table/pulls that was forked from this one a long time ago, but works with the main slate distribution as opposed to only working on gitbook's slate fork.

I hope I'm not putting anybody out by recommending this as an alternative.

Indeed we're currently focusing our efforts elsewhere. We are taking a break with upgrading Slate versions until we resolve our more urgent matters, sorry about that. Thank you @CameronAckermanSEL for suggesting this alternative
