You can have that right away, and even by using the Enter key only,
without the need of having to use the Tab key for horizontal movement:

Under Tools.Options.Calc.General configure the Enter key to move the
selection Right. You already knew that one. Then, to enter data
row-wise, select the area where the data is to be keyed in from either
the bottom right to the top left, or if starting from the top left to
the bottom right press enter once afterwards to jump back to the top
left. Do not press cursor movement keys as they would deselect the
selection again.

Now if you enter data and press the enter key the cell cursor moves one
cell to the right, and if on the last cell of a row of the selection it
moves to the first selected cell of the next row. Just be sure not to
use other keys that move the cell cursor to not make the selection
disappear.
