What you describe as going into the cell, what happens is that a
TableCellEditor has been created for the cell.  This is a different
component and it has the keyboard focus, so the key events are not
being delivered to the JTable.

Given that you have subclasses JTable, you should be able to add a key
to the TableCellEditor when it is created.  If you do that, do not
forget to remove it when the editor closes.
