jqGrid - Navigate rows using up/down arrow keys?

Question

Is it possible to navigate between rows using the Up and Down arrow keys?

For example, if the first row in the grid is selected and the user presses 'down', I would like the grid to unselect that row and select the next row down in the grid.

There is a post in the jqGrid Forums about this at http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=393/help/navigate-arraw-keys/, but enabling cell edit mode is not a solution for me as it will cause many other undesirable grid behaviors.

$(document).keypress(function(e) {

if(e.keyCode == 40) { //down arrow
 $('#nextElementId').click();
}
if(e.keyCode == 38 { //up arrow
 $('#previousElementId'.click();
}

});
