Does jqGrid have the functionality where you edit cell and hit enter, it would go to next row and edit cell right below

We are licensed jqgrid customer and user often complains that it does not go to the next cell below as it does in excel, they have to use mouse and click on the cell to get to edit mode and enter again.

This becomes quite frustrating when you are doing a lot of data entry,

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Hello,

Unfortunately we do not support such functionality.

After saving the cell (enter key) the user can press arrow down key to go to cell below and then press enter to edit it.

It is possible to mimik some fature after the cell is saved, but I’m not sure that this is exactly what you need.

Here is the code:

$(&quot;#grid&quot;).jqGrid({
...,
afterSaveCell : function(rowid, name, value, iRow, iCol){
   setTimeout(function(){
      e = $.Event(&#039;keydown&#039;);
      e.keyCode= 40; 
      var grid = $(&quot;#grid&quot;)[0];
      $(&#039;#&#039;+grid.p.knv).trigger(e);
   }, 10);
},
...

$("#grid").jqGrid({

...,

afterSaveCell : function(rowid, name, value, iRow, iCol){

setTimeout(function(){

e = $.Event('keydown');

e.keyCode= 40;

var grid = $("#grid")[0];

$('#'+grid.p.knv).trigger(e);

}, 10);

...

With this code after the cell is modified and the user press enter the cursor is positioned on the cell bellow.

Kind Regards
Will
