When you add a record using the flexigrid theme, all form fields get cleared after pressing enter. Clearing the fields is convenient, as it enables you to quickly add another record, without returning to the list view first.

However, I noticed that the focus stays on the field where you pressed the enter button. Wouldn't it be more convenient/logical to set the focus to the first edit field of the now empty form after adding the new record? In that way, you don't need to reach for the mouse to set the focus to the first field to start entering another record.

(Of course, this should not happen in editing mode, only after adding a record. In editing mode the form fields currently keep their content, which is good, and keeping the focus on the last edited field is what you'd expect, IMHO.)

You can add it in your JS, where you should catch jquery event

Ok, I got it.

In assets/grocery_crud/themes/flexigrid/js/flexigrid-add.js there on line 42, you'll find this statement:

clearForm();

This is where the form gets cleared after a successful insert. I added this line (line number 45), which does the trick:

$("form input:visible:first").focus();

It selects the first visible input of the form and sets the focus to that field.

What about datatables theme? How I can set focus on the first element on an add/edit operation? Thank you very much!!
