ok, so that is the main option, that must be set , or all others do 
nothing. (was my guess)

> goAlwaysShowEditor: if the grid is editable as its name say it will make the editor always visible, no effect if the grid is not editable.
that one is obvious too, and seems to be prioritized over "AutoEdit" := 
False

> as for AutoEdit, normally if the grid is editable clicking a selected cell will popup the cell editor, that's for AutoEdit=true and is what delphi stringgrid does, if you set AutoEdit=false editor will not pop up on clicking a selected cell, I forgot the reason this was added but as the Lazarus stringgrid allows range selection on editable grids, this may help in this case.

Ok, that one was not easy to figure. thanks.

See the bug report on how those settings have side effects on the cursor 
keys....
