Keyhandler

[TomasLongo]

Hi,

is there a way to add custom keyhandlers?

My case: I want to listen to ctrl + enter in order to save my doc.

Thanks in advance,
Tomas

@TomasLongo Hi!
Editor.js provides API to save the contents outside the instance

var editor = new EditorJS();
editor.save(); // here editor saves your data and returns JSON object

You can wrap method save(), like

document.addEventListener('keydown', function() {
  // here you need to check CTRL+ENTER press before firing `save` method
  editor.save().then(...);
}, false);

OR another easier way is to use some library for shortcuts
We provide our own: https://github.com/codex-team/codex.shortcuts

@khaydarov Thanks for getting back.

The actual saving is not the problem. Im not able to capture the ENTER key (CTRL works, though).
I tried the lib you suggested.

It seems like ENTER is intercepted by the editor.

Am I missing something?

@TomasLongo
Yes, ENTER keypress is intercepted by the Editor, but only inside the Block or when Block is focused. The problem is that we prevent default behaviour and stop propagation that's why you are not able to capture ENTER.
We're working on this problem

Thanks for replying. Glad to here that you're working on this.

Does an issue exist on that topic, which I could subdscribe to?

Any news or workaround to capture enter key event ?

I'm also interested in whether any progress has been made here. I need to be able to intercept and stop enter
