Question

I want to fire the event of oncellselect when tab key is pressed. It works fine as long as cell is selected using a mouse-click. But I notice when tab is pressed, only the event of aftercelledit is fired! Any suggestions how to overcome this?

Answer 1

You should describe the scenario which you use more clear. jqGrid have some support of selection of rows by keyboard (see bindKeys) but it has no support to select cells.

Probably you use cell editing which use internal GridNav method to activate key navigation. In case of cell editing the Tab key activate editing of the next editable cell. So you should use callbacks of cell editing like beforeEditCell, afterEditCell, onSelectCell instead of onCellSelect used as the handle of click event.
