jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

Greetings.  I'm working with jqGrid 4.3.2 in an ASP.NET MVC 4 website, jQuery 1.7.2.  There are several places in the application where jqGrid is used.  My general setup right now is that all editing is done locally (loadonce: true and clientArray) with inline navigation and editing, and all grid data is posted to the server on form submit via AJAX calls.  For the most part, I've got things working pretty well.  However, I've run into some difficulty with row edits and at what events they are committed.  To view the site (total work in progress), go here:

The data on this site is totally mocked, so feel free to add/edit rows.  If you add or edit a row and then click somewhere else on the page, the row edit is not saved.  The user has to hit the enter key somewhere during the row edit in order to save the row.  

I touched on this a little bit in a Stack Overflow question that Oleg was kind enough to answer (http://goo.gl/tB3Ex).  Is there a way to commit a row edit other than when the enter key is pressed, like when the row loses focus maybe?
