Research direction
Start by locating Grid's existing ItemClickListener support and the code handling cell focus and selection. Define how keyboard activation with Enter or Space should expose a corresponding event, then verify that focused-cell activation behaves consistently with mouse clicks and is covered by the relevant Grid tests.
