Hot keys and multiple grids

Hi ,
i am using 3 grids and i have to use the shortcut keys(ctrl-1,2,3) to select the grids respectively.
In each grid single click will select a row and double click will call the templates(either select or input or date) depending on the column.
I am using grid.element().focus() to shift the focus and it works fine if there are no templates.
It also works fine for select and date templates(i am able to change focus), between grids.But the problem occurs with input templates.
I tried removing template.refresh() and then it works fine , but the template is not closed.
Cud anyone help me on this.

I think the focus is shifted to the next grid but some async operation is again setting the focus back to the window in the case of input template.
Any suggestions...
