Rapid editing by only using keyboard

[mtbayley]

While rapid editing, you can't move to the next cell above or below current row without touching the mouse.

Rapid editing should fully support entry in a column of data only using the keyboard

Blazorise is continuously evolving, and we do review feature requests from the community. However, due to limited resources, not all requests can be prioritized or scheduled in the short term.

If this feature is critical for your project and you need it implemented on a specific timeline, we offer a custom development program where features can be prioritized and delivered in collaboration with you:

We have already improve it in #6490

The feature is coming in 2.1 release.

[mtbayley]

The 2.0.4 release notes mentioned this was completed. So it's not actually done until 2.1?

[stsrki]

My mistake, I was on mobile so missed the 2.0 branch while answering. You're right.

We will look into it.

Can you please explain what exactly is not working?

[mtbayley]

I want to edit the column of email addresses

I click a cell, then press enter to start editing. I press enter again to move to the cell below, but instead I exit editing and need to use the mouse to select the next cell.

It's not possible to edit a column without touching the mouse.

I made it to my local branch like this

• Enter: updates the edit value and moves to the next row on the save column
• Shift+Enter: updates the edit value and moves to the previous row on the save column
• Escape: cancels the cell edit and refocuses the same cell

@mtbayley, while I'm still at it, I would like to make it right. Is there any chance you could find and share a few live examples of the datagrid that has the right accessibility settings?

Batch editing in Syncfusion is my preference and is what you have.

I think AG Grid has the best accessibility. (Enter key starts/ends editing, arrow keys to Navigate)

I am ok with either implementations
