[MalikSamiAwan]

code.zip

Above is sample code that i am using to mimic what i actually want to achive:
Consider in the example attached/demo video only Name, Salary and Working hours are editable columns
and when i click enter/tab key i want to switch between these

same like enter should do top to bottom and tab should be doing left to right

finaldemo.mp4

It should only Switch Between Editable cells not readonly/noneditable cells
enter should act same top to bottom and tab should be left to right

Hi @MalikSamiAwan ,

In SfDataGrid, when navigating using the keyboard, all cells receive focus as you move between them. Currently, there is no built-in support to restrict focus to specific columns or cell values (i.e., restricting the current cell).

In your scenario, you need to skip focus for certain columns and jump directly to the next editable cell.

To achieve this behavior, we would need an allowFocus feature to control focus behavior. Enabling this property on specific columns would skip focus for those cells and move directly to the next valid (editable) cell. Attempting to implement this behavior manually at the sample level could impact many use cases at the grid level.

As of now, SfDataGrid does not support the allowFocus functionality. However, we have already considered this request as a feature enhancement and plan to include it in a future release. We appreciate your patience and understanding. You can track the progress of this request through the feedback link.
