Hello

My grid has navigatable set to false, and editable set to true, I am controlling the cell navigation through my own code. The reasons I am doing this are

InCell editing - turn on cell editing when a cell is selected, data is saved when the user navigates away from the cell.
Keyboard support - allow the user to navigate using Enter key (to go down the column) and Tab key (to go across the row) to immediately start editing the next cell. Also using the arrow keys to navigate.
Additional information in popup form - to complicate the matter even more, some cells may require additional information which the user can enter using a pop form triggered by the grid.save event. This took away the focus on the grid and therefore has to be programmatically restored back to the grid once the popup form is closed.

I would like to separate saving from grid navigation. Ie. the user can continue editing cells while the data source update itself in the background. One particular problem I ran into is after a cell content is saved, the grid reset its edit cell and lose focus of the current cell.

Is it possible for the grid to not control the navigation, and not control the edit mode toggleing?
