In this example you can cancompound cell editors driving multiple fields from one cell.

I am wondering if ti is possible to make it also for jquery-handsontable.

Any hints how to make it by using handsontable?

Thanks

Interesting question. That is a little bit challenging but it is surely doable.

Just take a look at the source of CheckboxEditor and CheckboxRenderer to see how to insert a <input> editor inside a cell:

Double that and change input type to text and you will have a compund text editor.

That said, I am not big fan of this concept because it breaks standard flow of working with a spreadsheet. It would be hard to maintain the current keyboard experience. Normally, you expect that the effect of pressing enter or keyboard arrows on a cell would be simmilar as in Excel.
