Re: [Style Guide] Clarifications for Grid actionable mode

Just so I'm clear, if a grid cell contained a slider, if I arrow to that 
cell and hit return, that would enter actionable mode. Hitting the 
arrows after this would then change the value of that slider, or would I 
need to tab again to put focus on the widget within a widget?
