#4120 DataTable: Selection and Row/Cell editing : Cannot input space character

[NikoGJ]

Fixes #4120
Allow input of space character in editor when Datatable has row selection + row edit features enabled

The old code for onSpaceKey was calling onEnterKey which was cancelling the keyboard event. As the event handlers were attached on the keydown events, the subsequent keypress events were not raised for standard HTML form controls living in the datatable cells.
The modification for onSpaceKey just executes the same code as in onEnterKey without the event.preventDefault(); thus living room for keypress events to be raised.

DataTable selection behavior seems broken. This may require another solution.

Thanks for your time and effort.

Hi,
Well spotted, I didn't account for that.
I may have find another solution involving .self event modifier on the tag instead which seem to work consistently. Will submit a new PR
