It would be nice if there was an option on editable table cells to allow rapid entry of values when tabbing through the cells. It seems that when tabbing to a cell to edit the contents that if the existing value is not deleted or selected with a mouse, any new value entry gets appended to the existing value.

Maybe there is a way to do this that I’m missing?

Thanks.

an excel-like tabbing would be great!  
I had the same thoughts about my table interfaces.
