Keydown event on Ace Editor

On this amazing editor (Ace: Code Editor), there's a method which I can get the on change event, is there a on keydown event? Or a hack I can simulate it?

Solution

  • There is no keydown event, you can add keydown event listener on textarea returned by editor.textInput.getElement(), but the better way is to use editor.commands.addCommand

    editor.commands.addCommand({
    name: "...",
    exec: function() {},
    bindKey: {mac: "cmd-f", win: "ctrl-f"}
})

    or editor.keyBinding.addKeyboardHandler
