auto commit edits when qgrid widget loses focus

Environment

• Operating System: OS X 10.13.6
• Python Version: $ python --version Python 2.7.16 :: Anaconda custom (64-bit)
• How did you install Qgrid: (pip, conda, or other (please explain)) conda
• Python packages: $ pip freeze or $ conda list (please include qgrid, notebook, and jupyterlab versions)
  qgrid 1.1.1 py27_1001 conda-forge
  notebook 5.7.8 py27_0
• Jupyter lab packages (if applicable): $ jupyter labextension list

Description of Issue

I expect when I click and edit a value in the qgrid and then click outside of the widget, that my change will be registered. However, I find that I have to press return or click on another qgrid cell for the change to not be reverted. This is not intuitive as a user, as other text entry fields like ipywidgets do change when the widget loses focus.

It looks like this has been addressed on the slickgrid end: ghiscoding/aurelia-slickgrid#82

Is it possible to make defocusing commit changes to the table with qgrid?

I get frustrated with this too. Have edited a lot of checkboxes just to find out that none of those changes persisted - as soon as I scrolled out of scope, it was lost.
