I am using HandsOnTable jquery plugin, and I'm trying to handle a specific key combination (Alt+v) shortcut. But it is not working for some reason, here is my code and jsfiddle:
$(document).ready(function () {
var isCtrl = false;
var isShift = false;
var isAlt = false;
// action on key up
$(document).keyup(function (e) {
if (e.which == 17) {
isCtrl = false;
}
if (e.which == 16) {
isShift = false;
}
if (e.which == 18) {
isAlt = false;
}
});
// action on key down
$(document).keydown(function (e) {
if (e.which == 17) {
isCtrl = true;
}
if (e.which == 16) {
isShift = true;
}
if (e.which == 18) {
isAlt = true;
}
if (e.which == 86 && isAlt) //alt+v
{
console.log("alt+v detected");
e.preventDefault();
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
return false;
}
});
});
I'm using chromium and it looks like all the keydown events do not fire. I found out there is a beforeKeyDown callback, which can be used to "modify keybindings". Using that seems to work:
$('#example').handsontable({
data: data,
minSpareRows: 1,
colHeaders: true,
contextMenu: true,
beforeKeyDown: function (e) {
if (e.altKey === true && e.which === 86) {
console.log("alt-v");
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
e.preventDefault();
}
}
});
