How can update data associated in a row on KeyPress in a SPGridView?

Question

This should be pretty easy but I can't find it anywhere.

Scenario: DataTable associated to an SPGridView. Every row of the SPGridView is editable and it shows boxes on some of the columns. I put an Update button and I implemented the RowUpdating event which works perfectly.

So, what I want is when the user press the Intro key in the TextBox, this action launch the Update command.

Thanks in advance...

Since SPGridView is nothing more then basic GridView with some additions maybe this link can be helpful (at least as starting point):

Handling the Enter key pressed in a GridView's row edit mode

protected void gvChild_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    // if enter key is pressed (keycode==13) call __doPostBack on grid and with 
    // 1st param = gvChild.UniqueID (Gridviews UniqueID)
    // 2nd param = CommandName=Update$  +  CommandArgument=RowIndex
    if ((e.Row.RowState == DataControlRowState.Edit) || 
       (e.Row.RowState == (DataControlRowState.Edit|DataControlRowState.Alternate)))
    {
        e.Row.Attributes.Add("onkeypress", "javascript:if (event.keyCode == 13) { 
            __doPostBack('" + gvChild.UniqueID + "', 'Update$" + 
           e.Row.RowIndex.ToString() + "'); return false; }");
    } 
}

I never tested this code so here is little disclaimer:

Specific SP problems can arise on page postback. I am not sure about gvChild.UniqueID part of the sample code. I think Control.ClientID suits better.
