Keyboard Navigation
At run time you can navigate through the grid using keyboard navigation. Available keyboard navigation is similar to products like Microsoft Excel, to make it easier for users to intuitively navigate the grid. Keyboard navigation also allows greater accessibility in navigating and manipulating the grid.
The following table describes the possible interactions:

If TabNavigation is TabNavigation, the current cell will cycle from the left to the right and from the top to the bottom. When navigation reaches the bottom right most cell pressing the Tab key will jump the current cell to the upper left most grid cell. |

When a cell is selected, typing any alphanumeric key enters the client-side editing mode on the cell. |
