   <Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="True" />
   <Setter Property="Focusable" Value="True" />    
   <Style.Triggers>

    I ‘m not sure if this a nice feature. You might not be able to select multiple cells. anyway handle OnCurrentCellChanged event

    void DG1_OnCurrentCellChanged(object sender, SelectedCellsChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        DataGrid dg=(Datagrid)sender;
        dg.BeginEdit();
    }
    

    BeginEdit() cause DataGridPreparingCellForEdit event to occure, I think you should handle that event:

    private void dg_PreparingCellForEdit(object sender,  DataGridPreparingCellForEditEventArgs e)
    {
    TextBox tb = e.EditingElement as TextBox;
    if (tb != null)
       {
           tb.Focus();
           //you can set caret position and ...
       }
    }
    

    also, you can handle BeginningEdit event.
