Although there may be a lot missing from that topic, I don't think it's reasonable to expect MS to document every possible keystroke in every control. You give an example of using the Enter key in an editbox, but the Enter key isn't a shortcut for anything in an editbox--it just sticks a carriage return in the text. It doesn't matter if the editbox is in or out of a grid.

Certainly, the "Tab" documentation is especially lacking. It only says that it moves to the next field in a grid when a grid has focus. I invite you to submit a request to the wish list to improve this topic. You should include specifics of what you feel is missing.
