Research direction

Check the uiGridEditService's isStartEditKey function in the ui grid source code. Investigate why the function is invoked twice with different keycodes (84 and 116) when pressing a single key. The plnkr link may provide a reproduction. Look at how key events are bound and filtered in the grid's edit module. Determine if there is a duplicate event listener or a mismatch between keydown and keypress events.
