Bases: Ability to Pin / Freeze Base Table Headers

Feature requests
1

Use case or problem

Bases table headers disappear when scrolling down to browse tables with a large number of records. Without the columns as references, context is lost and columns with similar content might get confused.

Example, columns:
Effort: 3
Priority: 2
Risk: 4
Value: 4
created time:
modified time:
date:
start:
due:

It can get quite confusing to navigate the table without the header row reference. (as well as without the first column reference - See the related feature request here :backhand_index_pointing_right:Bases: Ability to Pin Columns

Proposed solution

When configuring table views, offer users the option to freeze the table headers. When enabled, this option would allow users to scroll the table vertically without loosing sight of the column headers.

Current workaround (optional)

No workarounds.
Attempted CSS workorounds without success.

Hello ! You can freeze headers only with css :

/* Fige l'en-tĂŞte des tableaux dans les notes */
.markdown-rendered table {
  border-collapse: collapse;
  width: 100%;
  display: block;
  overflow-y: auto;
  max-height: 400px; /* tu peux ajuster la hauteur visible */
}

.markdown-rendered thead th {
  position: sticky;
  top: 0;
  background-color: var(--background-primary);
  z-index: 2;
  border-bottom: 2px solid var(--background-modifier-border);
}

Better than nothing !

Unfortunately only works in “real” Bases. Once you have them inside a markdown file it no longer works - still, for the real base files its a great solution, instantly adopted!
