How to reconfigure 'Enter Key' in WebGrid 7 to simulate the functionality of MS Excel

Based on my analysis on the provided user code snippet, the MoveRow function only select the cell. If you would like to enter edit mode automatically, you will need to modify the MoveRow function. Here is the snippet, this snippet is already using the new WebGrid API introduced in version 5

function MoveRow(destRow, destCell)
{
    var grid = ISGetObject("wgTest");

    grid.GetRowByElement(destRow).Select();
    grid.GetCellByElement(destCell).ActivateEdit();
}

Hello All,

We are using WebGrid 7 in SharePoint WebPart where we are rendering the grid programatically.

We wanted to reconfigure the "Enter Key" to perform the same action as it happens in MS Excel. I discovered some code to reconfigure Enter key fucntionality in the http://www.intersoftpt.com/Community/WebGrid/Use-Enter-key-to-add-new-row/ and modified the same according to my requirement.

But the problem with this is that when we press "Enter Key" on any cell the focus goes to the cell below the current one and the new cell gets selected. But if we want to enter the data in the new cell, we will have to press Enter key once again or click on the focused cell.

When I hit enter cell below the current cell should automatically become editable.

Any help on this would be much appreciable.

Thanks,
