Description
Hey,
I'm trying to use KeyTable in combination with Editor of DataTables.Net and inline editing. Thats working fine. With 'tab' key I can jump to next cell in row. At end of row it jumps to first cell on next row. So far so good.
For fast editing of one column I want to jump to cell in same column in next row. Normally this will be done with 'arrow down' key. But with focus in text input and inline editing the 'arrow down' key sets cursor to end of textfield and 'arrow up' to begin of text input. What can I do to set another key combination like ALT+arrow down or ALT+Tab or ENTER for jumping to next row?
Regards Thomas

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing inline editing with KeyTable and DataTables Editor, then trace how keyboard events are handled while focus is in a text input. Done means a documented key combination moves focus to the same column in the next row without moving the text cursor.
