Question

Using cell edit mode in jqGrid, the default behaviour is to enter edit mode on a cell whenever that cell is clicked or if that cell is selected and the enter key is pressed.

Is there a way to change this behaviour so that a single click does not place it in edit mode but a double click does? Entering into edit mode on enter is fine.

Answer 1

Directly it is not supported by the cell editing mode, but it seems to me, that you can implement it yourself in the same way as for inline editing (see jqGrid – edit only certain rows for an editable column, for example). You should don’t set cellEdit parameter of jqGrid to true, but use directly cell editing methods like editCell described in http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:cell_editing#methods.

Another way is to use inline editing on double-click instead of cell editing.
