When using Handsontable how to force a selected cell into edit mode?

Question

Handsontable provides some nice hooks for when a cell is selected but I can\'t seem to figure out way to get it to allow me to force a cell into edit mode when it has been s

Answer 1

And I believe I've answered my own question:

Handsontable.PluginHooks.add( 'afterSelectionEnd', function() { 
        f2_event = $.Event( 'keydown', { keyCode: 113 } );
        this.$table.trigger(f2_event);
});

That seems to do the trick.

Answer 2

For anyone intersted in this question, now there is a better programmable way to achieve the same result.

this.selectCell(row, col);
this.getActiveEditor().beginEditing();

This selects the (row, col) cell and enters edit mode (i.e. same as double click or pressing F2/Enter).

Answer 3

Edit Mode on click:

afterSelectionEnd: function (r, c, r2, c2) {
  if (r == r2 && c == c2) {
     getActiveEditor().beginEditing();
     getActiveEditor().enableFullEditMode();   
  }
}

When you add enableFullEditMode(); caret moves in the cell while pressing left or right button instead of jump to another cell.

Anaother example: only first row:

afterSelectionEnd: function (r, c, r2, c2) {
  if (r == r2 && c == c2) {
     if (r == 0 && r2 == 0) {
         getActiveEditor().beginEditing();
         getActiveEditor().enableFullEditMode();   
     }
   }
 }
