Default Automating Data Entry (Position the cursor, insert row)

I have a very simple spreadsheet I'm using to collect data for establishing
metrics. The spreadsheet is only 4 columns (one for the date, two that are
validated using drown-down lists, and the last is a text column for
description/comments).

I'd like to automate it so that when the user presses enter when in the last
column in the row (D),

1) the focus is returned to the first column in the same row, and
2) a new row is inserted above

thus placing the cursor in the first column of the new row, i.e., ready for
user input.

I understnad the logic for making it happen but don't have the slightest
idea of how to actually make it happen.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!
