Kendo Grid, How to enable edit on next editable column pressing tab key?

I have a editable grid, which is editable after click on the selected cell.

I would like to ask:

Is possible to enable event that after tab is pressed, is edit mode moved into next editable field on same row?

Thanks for any help.

Found basis for this on JS Bin http://jsbin.com/pifevi/1/edit?html,output which skips non editable fields

Add a new event handling function:

function onGridKeydown(e) {
if (e.keyCode === kendo.keys.TAB) {
    var grid = $(this).closest("[data-role=grid]").data("kendoGrid");
    var current = grid.current();
    if (!current.hasClass("editable-cell")) {
        var nextCell;
        if (e.shiftKey) {
            nextCell = current.prevAll(".editable-cell");
            if (!nextCell[0]) {
                //search the next row
                var prevRow = current.parent().prev();
                var nextCell = prevRow.children(".editable-cell:last");
            }
        } else {
            nextCell = current.nextAll(".editable-cell");
            if (!nextCell[0]) {
                //search the next row
                var nextRow = current.parent().next();
                var nextCell = nextRow.children(".editable-cell:first");
            }
        }
        grid.current(nextCell);
        grid.editCell(nextCell[0]);
    }
});

Then wire up the grid to the event

$("#grid").find("table").on("keydown", onGridKeydown);

You need to add the editable-cell class to each cell so with kendo mvc you would do:

columns.Bound(p => p.foo).HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "editable-cell" }).Title("Foo").Width(120);

And essentially make sure the grid is navigatable

.Navigatable(nav => nav.Enabled(true))

Set navigatable to true in the Grid initialization. The documentation says:

navigatable documentation

$(document).ready(function () {
  var crudServiceBaseUrl = "http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service",
      dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
        transport: {
          read:  {
            url: crudServiceBaseUrl + "/Products",
            dataType: "jsonp"
          },
          update: {
            url: crudServiceBaseUrl + "/Products/Update",
            dataType: "jsonp"
          },
          parameterMap: function(options, operation) {
            if (operation !== "read" && options.models) {
              return {models: kendo.stringify(options.models)};
            }
          }
        },
        batch: true,
        pageSize: 7,
        schema: {
          model: {
            id: "ProductID",
            fields: {
              ProductID: { editable: false, nullable: true },
              ProductName: { validation: { required: true } },
              UnitPrice: { type: "number", validation: { required: true, min: 1} },
              Discontinued: { type: "boolean" },
              UnitsInStock: { type: "number", validation: { min: 0, required: true } }
            }
          }
        }
      });

  $("#grid").kendoGrid({
    dataSource: dataSource,
    pageable: true,
    navigatable: true,
    height: 550,
    toolbar: ["save"],
    columns: [
      "ProductName",
      { field: "UnitPrice", title: "Unit Price", format: "{0:c}", width: 120 },
      { field: "UnitsInStock", title: "Units In Stock", width: 120 }
    ],
    editable: true
  });
});
