We are currently having a MVC based application and using kendo grid version 2014.1.318.440
Scenario:
We have inline grid for batch editing of data, here each row has several enabled as well as disabled columns.
Using inbuild feature of Kendo grid, we can move within columns using tabs.
Here, tab cursor stays/goes to disabled cell too, which is not required for user, as he/she couldn't change anything and don't want to go there.

Instead it(tab cursor) should move between enabled cells only.
Secondly, user also requires to move between rows, line row 1 to row 2.

These two points really have great impact for our customers as there are lots of inline grid with plenty of rows & cell and usability is a priority for them.
Could you help us on this or provide appropriate guidelines
We are waiting and counting on your positive response :)

Hello Mayank,

 To your questions:
 - `Instead it(tab cursor) should move between enabled cells only. ` - this is not supported. There are few forum posts disusing this scenario (as this one here), but you should be aware that it is not officially supported by us and suggested implementations might not work in all scenarios.

 - `user also requires to move between rows, line row 1 to row 2.` - this seems like the built-in behavior in pressing `TAB` key - it moves to the next row once the last cell in current row is reached. It is demonstrated in the example here: Grid Editing Demo.
