sheets functionality
Thank you for creating Spreadsheets! I would love to completely move over from Google Sheets but
when i am typing in a cell, i should be able to hit the right or left arrow key and automatically move to the next cell over. I first have to hit ENTER to get out of editing, which moves the selected cell down a row, then I have to arrow right and up.
Repeating this process a multitude of times becomes time restrictive in cases of heavy data entry and both Google Sheets and Excel do not behave this way.

I'd be against the requested behavior. I think left or right arrow while editing a cell should move within the contents of the cell. Some other key combo should move to a different cell. (In my experience, if I remember correctly at least Excel has hybrid behavior here where the first time you edit a cell, hitting arrow will jump to another cell, whereas if you come back to edit hitting arrow will move you within the current cell contents. I personally find this behavior horrible - I'd strongly prefer consistency, and NOT ever having arrowing move to a different cell, but instead move within cell contents.)

I feel like tab or shift+tab does what you want.

What about TAB or SHIFT+TAB to move right/left?
