keys.editOnFocus

Since: KeyTable 2.3.0

Control if editing should be activated immediately upon focus.
Please note - this property requires the KeyTable extension for DataTables.

Description

When used with Editor (keys.editor), inline editing will not be triggered by KeyTable until a key value is pressed when a cell is focused (similar to Excel). However, you may wish to immediately place the cell into edit mode when the focus happens. This option provides that ability.

Type

boolean

true to enable editing on focus, false to disable.

Default

  • Value: false

The cell is not automatically put into inline editing mode when the cell is focused.

Example

Immediately trigger inline editing, when the cell is focused.:

new DataTable('#myTable', {
	keys: {
		editor: editor,
		editOnFocus: true
	}
});
