goog.events.listen key-press event

[john_m]

Hello,

I'm trying to stop the propagation of the key-press event for the delete key by using the code below in the framework.js file.

Code: Select all

goog.events.listen(goog.dom.getDocument(), goog.events.EventType.KEYDOWN, function(e) {

	if(e.keyCode == goog.events.KeyCodes.DELETE){

		//do stuff...

		e.getBrowserEvent().preventDefault();

		e.getBrowserEvent().stopPropagation();

	}

});

The delete key fails to stop propagating. Am I listening at the correct eventSource as in goog.events.listen(eventSource, eventType, listener, [capturePhase, [handler]]); for this action?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks!
John

Hello,

It works if you listen on the "capture" phase (note the last parameter - true):

Code: Select all

goog.events.listen(goog.dom.getDocument(), goog.events.EventType.KEYDOWN, function(e) {

   if(e.keyCode == goog.events.KeyCodes.DELETE){

      //do stuff...

      e.getBrowserEvent().preventDefault();

      e.getBrowserEvent().stopPropagation();

   }

}, true);

Anyway, depending on your use-case (e.g. if you are trying to alter the behaviour of the editor deletion), using the Java API might be a better idea, for example https://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Edit ... ilter.html .

Best,
