You should patch jqGrid, because up/down key handling fails, when subgrid is opened.

if(event.keyCode === 38 ){

r = target.previousSibling;

id = "";

if(r) {

if($(r).is(":hidden") || !$(r).hasClass('jqgrow')) {

while(r) {

r = r.previousSibling;

if(!$(r).is(":hidden") && $(r).hasClass('jqgrow')) {id = r.id;break;}

}

} else {

id = r.id;

}

}

$($t).jqGrid('setSelection', id, true, event);

event.preventDefault();

}

|| !$(r).hasClass('jqgrow') is my patch, beacause when you open the subgrid r will be the row of subgrid. If the subgrid is closed it's operate by reason of ":hidden".

I'm using the bindkeys function in jqgrid to navigate with my keyboard on the grid

$("#List").jqGrid('bindKeys');

But the problem is that I also use a subgrid row to show some values :

subGridRowExpanded: function (subId, id) {
$("#" + subId).append($('#List').getCell(id, 'detail'));
}

That makes it impossible to use the down key to select the next row (the selected row expands when the user selects the row). If the user closes the subgrid row, he can use the down key again. The subgrid row is blocking the navigation if opened.

On the other hand, the up key is always working.
