Add possibility to toggle selection blur behavior

[selrond]

Let's say I want to change the value of a specific cell from outside - like formula bar in Google Sheets for instance.

It is possible, but the blur event fires automatically when I click somewhere else outside the datasheet grid, leaving the user with no selected cell while editing its value from the formula bar, which can be confusing.

Is it possible to have an API disabling this behavior?
Something like enableBlurEventsOnOutsideClick={off}

Illustration of what I mean:

• input (with the blue border) is active
• cell with red borders should be active while editing the input, but it's not

Excellent use-case.

• How do you think it should react when you click outside of everything?
• How should it work with. multiple grid on the same page?
• How should it handle keyboard events?

Haven't given it much thought, but—in principle—leaving the onBlur implementation to the user should be enough. This way, all of your questions would be up for the consumer to answer if they want.

This would require some refactoring, of course.

I cannot ignore the last point, the grid needs to know what to do when the user presses a key. Let's say the user presses the up arrow, should we move up?
