I have a perspective table and I’d like to have the tab button move to the next cell. I have that working by simply changing the props.selectedColumn (say, from ‘C4’ to ‘C5’)

The issue is that the old column (C4) still has the editor shown and I cannot figure out how to call the column to ‘commit’. Ideally, I’d like to figure out how to trigger the component event onEditCellCommit. I can add this script to my keypress event to handle the tab press.

So, what you’re really asking for is for the ability to use the tab key press event to iterate through cells of a table row? And, if that cell happens to be configured as editable, go into its editing state?
