title: How to Get the UID for a Row in Kendo Grid Without Using Grid.Select()
body: <p>We are building a heads-down data entry application using Kendo, and make heavy use of Kendo Grid. Using <code>selectable='row'</code> or <code>selectable='col'</code> in the grid is problematic because the user is entering data without using the mouse, but navigating the grid using tab key. The visual row/cell selector does not follow the actual active row and cell. </p>
  
  <p>Question: How can I get the <strong>row index</strong> and/or the <strong>uid</strong> of the row in the grid with selectable turned off and without using grid.select()?</p>
  
  <p>Here's the grid setup code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>            $("#" + target).kendoGrid({
                  dataSource: gridDs,
                  edit: gridCellEdit,
                  height: applet.height,
                  editable: {
                      createAt: 'bottom'
                  },
                  filterable: true,
                  sortable: true,
                  navigatable: true,
                  resizable: true,
                  reorderable: true,
                  scrollable: { virtual: true },
                  columns: gridColumns,
                  dataBound: monitorKeyboard
                  }
              });
  
      function gridCellEdit(e) {
            var uid = $('#grid_active_cell').closest('tr').data('uid');
            console.log(uid);
       }
  </code></pre>
