jqGrid: replace single click with double click to enter cell edit mode

Question

Using cell edit mode in jqGrid, the default behaviour is to enter edit mode on a cell whenever that cell is clicked or if that cell is selected and the enter key is pressed.

Is there a way to change this behaviour so that a single click does not place it in edit mode but a double click does? Entering into edit mode on enter is fine.

Answer 1

Directly is is not supported by cell editing mode, but it seems to me, that you can implement it yourself in the same way as for inline editing (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2863874/jqgrid-edit-only-certain-rows-for-an-editable-column/2866685#2866685 for example). You should don't set cellEdit parameter of jqGrid to true, but use directly cell editing methods like editCell described in http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:cell_editing#methods.

Another way is to use inline editing on double-click instead of cell editing.
