Use tab key to navigate cells.

[klk1010]

This issue was raised a while ago in reactabular/reactabular, but I haven't seen discussion of it since. react-hotkeys was mentioned in the last discussion, but that repo never released version 1 and hasn't been updated in some time. For that reason, I'm hesitant to rely on another library for tabbing support. Is there a plan to provide support for navigating through editable cells in a table with the tab button through the selectabular package? When frequent and speedy data entry are important, this is essential. How difficult do you think it would be to add something like this?

Hi,

A lot has changed since that issue. Check out the React helpers. That's one direction if you are interested purely in selection.

react-edit should work with tab out of the box assuming you set whole row editable at once. I saw a demo just like that and it worked without any extra code due to the way browsers work.

Assuming you want to enable only one editable cell at once and cycle them through tab/shift-tab, I would set up react-edit and then use the react helper idea except that this time I would tie the tab handler to the table so it works in a predicable way with table focus.
