When editing a row focus on the clicked column/cell directly instead of always focus on the first column. When the grid has many columns this gives unwanted user experience because of the automatic horizontal scrolling. With the new cellClick event the clicked column index is already available.
We are declining this request due to low interest and demand.

By looking at the source code I have created a dirty workaround for this: const instance = this.grid.columnList.filter(item => !(item as any).isColumnGroup && !item.hidden)[columnIndex]; sender.editService.editRow(rowIndex, this._formGroupRow); sender.editService.column = instance; sender.focusEditElement('.k-grid-edit-cell'); setTimeout(() => { const activeElement = this.elementRef.nativeElement.ownerDocument.activeElement; sender.editService.column = null; if (activeElement) activeElement.focus(); });
