I have a Kendo UI grid which is navigatable and editable.  Using the keyboard arrows I can move between cells.  When I hit enter, the cell becomes editable, I can type a value, then hit enter a second time to store the value.  I may now move to another cell.

I'd really like to emulate the behaviour of Excel, thus allowing the user to type values and use the keyboard arrows to move between cells, without ever having to hit enter.  Is this possible?

Hi Patrick,

I am afraid this behavior is currently not supported out of the box and there is no good solution or a workaround that we can suggest. Similar behavior could be achieved by implementing your own navigation using jQuery event handlers and the Grid's public API, however such solutions are outside the scope of our support services, as they cover the built-in functionalities only.
