I've put this functionality in my grid by selecting the input element by its id (if you use firebug you will see that the ID's follow a naming convention), and then calling the javascript focus() method.  This is done in the event where I put the row into edit mode.  That way no changes to the jqgrid source code was needed.

I dont have my source code atm so can't show u the code, but i hope that helps

Cheers,

Michael
