Dušan's answer worked for me but for 2 exceptions:

In onEditorKeyDown instead of

var table = this.dt.container.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].childNodes[1];

use

let table = this.dt.container.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[1];

In addition, (event.which === 9) should be used instead of (event.keyCode == 9) and all the functions must be bound in the constructor:

this.inputTextEditor = this.inputTextEditor.bind(this)
this.xxxEditor = this.xxxEditor.bind(this)
this.onEditorKeyDown = this.onEditorKeyDown.bind(this)

I have an idea how you can do this:

while you are in editable cell, you need to intercept TAB key and then to simulate click on next cell to the right or, if current cell is the last one, on first cell in next row.

Steps in following example are based on PrimeReact's show case editable page. You can adopt them for your particular case.

FUNCTIONAL EXAMPLE

Step 1:

define onRowClickhandler and add it to DataTable component to be able to catch currently clicked rowIndex (we need to know what is the row index of the cell currently edited)

onRowClick(event) {
    this.rowIndex = event.index;
}
...
<DataTable ref={(el) => this.dt = el} editable={true} onRowClick={(e) => this.onRowClick(e)} ...>

Step 2:

Define column index (ordinal number) to each of column editors: 1st column has index 0, 2nd column index 1, etc. For example

vinEditor(props) {
    return this.inputTextEditor(props, 'vin', 0);
}

yearEditor(props) {
    return this.inputTextEditor(props, 'year', 1);
}

brandEditor(props) {
    return this.inputTextEditor(props, 'brand', 2);
}

where inputTextEditor now look like this

inputTextEditor(props, field, columnIndex) {
    return <InputText type="text" value={props.rowData.year}
     onKeyDown={(e) => this.onEditorKeyDown(e, columnIndex)} onChange={(e) => this.onEditorValueChange(props, e.target.value)} />;
}

Note that I've added onKeyDown handler and passed columnIndex arg to it so that we can recognize the column where some key is typed.

Step 3:

Finally we can define onEditorKeyDown to do the magic (check out code comments for additional explanations)

onEditorKeyDown(event, columnIndex) {
    console.log("onKeyDown", event);
    console.log("key code", event.keyCode);
    console.log("columnIndex", columnIndex);
    console.log("rowIndex", this.rowIndex);

    //change following 2 constants to to fit your case
    const columnCount = 4;
    const rowCount = 10;

    //check if TAB (key code is 9) is pressed on InputText
    if (event.keyCode == 9) {
        //prevent default behaviour on TAB press
        event.preventDefault();

        //this.dt is reference to DataTable element
        //get reference to `table` node only
        var table = this.dt.container.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].childNodes[1];

        //check if we are not in last column
        if (columnIndex < columnCount - 1) {
            //simulate click on next column
            table.childNodes[this.rowIndex].childNodes[columnIndex + 1].click();
        } else {
            //we are in the last column, check if we are not in last row
            if (this.rowIndex < rowCount - 1) {
                //we are not in the last row
                // select next row
                this.rowIndex += 1;

                //simulate click on first column in next row
                table.childNodes[this.rowIndex].childNodes[0].click();
            }
        }
    }
}
