Details

Note that the method will work only with the enabled editable parameter:

webix.ui({
    view:"datatable",
    editable:true
});

The input object parameter should contain 2 attributes:

row - (string) the row id
column - (string) the column id

Still, for datatable it's better to use its editCell, editRow and editColumn methods.

The method is useful when adding a hotkey to open edit state.

webix.UIManager.addHotKey("enter", function(view){
    var pos = view.getSelectedId();
    view.edit(pos); //edit selected item on pressing 'enter'
}, gridc);
