Any updates on this? This feature was heavily used in V8... In our case the user adds a new entry to the grid (via context menu or button) and directly wants to start typing... it doesn't even have to be a specific column, we just need to open the edit mode. Is there any workaround?

Are there any updates ? If this will not reach upstream, is there a way to trigger it via JavaScript (if the row to be edited is visible) ? I would just like to have this functionality in V14 (and V23).
