i noticed how slow the latest version of ignite-ui igGrid is compared to v2013.2 in edit mode.
here's an example using version 2013.2: http://jsfiddle.net/ruslans/neh7y048/ it has a desired effect of Excel-like navigation using arrow keys, checkbox ticking with the space bar or a single mouse click- it's also very fast!
however, we are obviously using the latest version, with the aria- tags and angularJs wrapper. i've tried to setup an example for you however editing doesn't work for some reason: http://jsfiddle.net/ruslans/g476j9ab/
anyway, the behaviour in the new version is changed - you have to click in the cell before you can tick the checkbox and also arrow-key navigation doesn't work for me properly.
i am hoping there must be some settings / preference switches i could use to enable similar behaviour and performance to that of version 2013?
Yep, that's the designed behavior and it is in consistency with other editors.
If you want you can force the ending of the editing once the cell is clicked by using the API method - endEdit.
editCellEnded event doesn't fire until you click on a different row. i struggle to understand why- surely you're finished editing a checkbox column as soon as you click on it.
Yep, when editing of the cell is started, here's how you can change the value of the checkbox editor.

hi, thanks for your response. as you may see, the behaviour is different compared to that of v2013 because the use has to click twice in order to select the checkbox.
anyway to make the latest version match the behavour of 2013 where you can click once to tick a checkbox
Hello Rus Lan,
Please change the readOnly: "true" to readOnly: true. It accepts bool type. This seems to resolve the issues.
