    • enterKeyAction
      Specifies the DataGrid's actions when a user presses Enter key:

      • "moveFocus" - moves focus in the enterKeyDirection
      • "startEdit" (default) - switches the cell to the editing state

    • enterKeyDirection
      Specifies the direction in which to move focus when a user presses Enter:

      • "row"
      • "column"
      • "none" (default)

    • editOnKeyPress
      Specifies whether to start entering a new cell value on a key press.
