NextUI Version

2.4.5

Describe the bug

I have a scenario where I have a Table component and inside the table I have an input/textarea field, if i try to edit the text using arrow keys the navigation takes me to next cell of table.
I have tried using e.preventDefault(); but it doesn't work. how do I disable the arrow key navigation in table and allow user to navigate the text.

Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue

Create a table and inside table cell add input field or textarea.

Following is my code:

const handleKeyDown = (e: React.KeyboardEvent<HTMLTextAreaElement>) => {
   const { key } = e;
   if (key === 'ArrowUp' || key === 'ArrowDown' || key === 'ArrowLeft' || key === 'ArrowRight') {
       e.stopPropagation(); // Prevent the event from bubbling up to the table
        // Optionally, you can prevent default behavior to stop scrolling, if any
       e.preventDefault();   
}};
<TableCell className="px-0.5">
    <div>
       <Textarea
            variant="bordered"
            maxRows={1}
            minRows={1}
            placeholder="Name"
            disableAnimation
            onChange={(e) => onDetailChange(e.target.value, index, 'name')}
           defaultValue={employee.name}
            classNames={{
                input: "resize-y",
            }}
            onKeyDown={(e) => handleKeyDown(e)}
        />
    </div>
</TableCell>

Expected behavior

It should let me perform inline editing and not navigate to next cell.

have you tried using onFocus and onBlur to actually manage the focus and blur

const handleFocus = (e: React.FocusEvent) => {
const parent = e.currentTarget.closest('table');
if (parent) {
parent.addEventListener('keydown', handleKeyDown);
}
};

const handleBlur = (e: React.FocusEvent) => {
const parent = e.currentTarget.closest('table');
if (parent) {
parent.removeEventListener('keydown', handleKeyDown);
}
};

I tried this but this only prevents me from going to next cell which is good but still on pressing arrow keys I am not able to move the cursor within text. Typing works but not the navigation.

I have same issue too :(
And also if I don't set input.current.focus() then I can't type input at all.
I don't understand why everytime the document.activeItem is tag even I click the input

It seems like it is adjusting the events (click, type event etc... ) in the table cell itself, but it would be nice if there was a disable function. Otherwise, we'll run into obstacles every time we create a custom cell.

@soyeon9211 you can check this alternate solution if you want, it involves creating custom table component.
