Inline editing Visual force

Hello,

I created a visual force page (and a custom button) which updates the account ownership from a list view. I would like to add inline editing to the below. Could you please assist me?

<apex:page standardController="Account" recordSetVar="accounts" tabStyle="Account" sidebar="false" lightningStylesheets="true">
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock title="Edit Accounts" mode="edit">
            <apex:pageMessages />
            <apex:pageblockButtons location="top">
                <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!Save}" />
                <apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}"/>
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>
        <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!selected}" var="A">
            <apex:column headerValue="Name">
                <apex:outputField value="{!A.name}"/>
            </apex:column> 
            <apex:column headerValue="Owner">
                <apex:inputField value="{!A.OwnerId}"/>
            </apex:column>
       </apex:pageBlockTable>         
    </apex:pageBlock>
  </apex:form>
</apex:page>

You can also try another example 
<apex:page standardController="Account" recordSetVar="accounts" tabStyle="Account" sidebar="false" lightningStylesheets="true">
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock title="Edit Accounts" mode="edit">
            <apex:pageMessages />
            <apex:pageblockButtons location="top">
                <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!Save}" id="saveButton"/>
                <apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}" id="cancelButton"/>
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>
        <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!accounts}" var="A">
            <apex:column headerValue="Name">
                <apex:outputField value="{!A.name}"/>
            </apex:column> 
            <apex:column headerValue="Owner">
                <apex:outputField value="{!A.OwnerId}"/>
            </apex:column>
            <apex:inlineEditSupport event="ondblClick" showOnEdit="saveButton,cancelButton" />
       </apex:pageBlockTable>         
    </apex:pageBlock>
  </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Just add this InlineEditSupport tag in your page block table

Try this code snippet. 
<apex:page standardController="Account" recordSetVar="accounts" tabStyle="Account" sidebar="false" lightningStylesheets="true">
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock title="Edit Accounts" mode="edit">
            <apex:pageMessages />
            <apex:pageblockButtons location="top">
                <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!Save}" id="saveButton"/>
                <apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel} id="cancelButton"/>
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>
        <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!selected}" var="A">
            <apex:column headerValue="Name">
                <apex:outputField value="{!A.name}"/>
            </apex:column> 
            <apex:column headerValue="Owner">
                <apex:inputField value="{!A.OwnerId}"/>
            </apex:column>
			<apex:inlineEditSupport event="ondblClick"
showOnEdit="saveButton,cancelButton"  />
       </apex:pageBlockTable>         
    </apex:pageBlock>
  </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Hope this helps!
