I'm very excited to see Kendo. I've been evaluating the Telerik MVC Grid, but it was too limiting for what I need to do with Dynamic objects.
I have been searching for a client-side, javascript grid that can do what our current winform grids can do. Where most of the javascript grids fall short today is editing with full keyboard support. When developing the editing functionality, please don't require a user to double-click a cell or row to put it into edit mode. As a developer, I need to enable cell-edit simply by setting focus on a cell.
Also, when I am in the cell and want to edit the cell to the right or left, all that should be required is to press Tab or Shift+tab. If I want to edit the cell above or below, the up and down arrow should do the trick. No mouse clicks required!
SlickGrid does an excellent job of this, but unfortunately, it is missing several features that your grid has already. Here's a demo of how I need cell editing and keyboard support to work:

Do you think this would be possible?
Thanks,
