use dataGridView KeyDown event and check for e.KeyData == Keys.Enter then you can check the dataGridView CurrentCell column and row index to calculate next cell column index and row index. finally set the dataGridView1.CurrentCell value using that cell. for example check below answer

First, the selection mode should be System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewSelectionMode.CellSelect:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.datagridview.selectionmode%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^],
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3c89df86%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^].

And then, this is how you select a cell: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yc4fsbf5%28v=vs.90%29.aspx[^].

And this is how you can handle keyboard events to act on Enter: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.keydown(v=vs.110).aspx[^].

That's all.
