You may need to create a new view that inherits QTableView and add a new 
selection behaviour that does what you need in this case since none of the 
standard ones support quite what you need (I think).

Or even better, file a merge request through gitorious that adds this mode to 
the standard QTableView as I can see times when it would be handy. This way, 
everybody will benefit from it.

Good luck,
