This is true that EditingControlShowing can help, but not if you wants to catch the Enter key. In that case, one should use the following method:

 private void dataGridView_EditingControlShowing(object sender, DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Control is DataGridViewTextBoxEditingControl)
        {
            DataGridViewTextBoxEditingControl tb = e.Control as DataGridViewTextBoxEditingControl;
            tb.KeyDown -= dataGridView_KeyDown;
            tb.PreviewKeyDown -= dataGridView_PreviewKeyDown;
            tb.KeyDown += dataGridView_KeyDown;
            tb.PreviewKeyDown += dataGridView_PreviewKeyDown;
        }
    }

    void dataGridView_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, PreviewKeyDownEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.KeyData == Keys.Enter)
        {
            
        }
    }
