RichTextItem: how to catch keyDown/keyPress/keyUp

[martintaal]

Hi,
I am trying the rich text item on chrome/linux. My question is how I can capture/override key events. I see in the RichTextCanvas methods like: _iFrameKeyDown.

These are indeed called on keydown, but then the keyevent is handled natively.

Is there a way I can override _iFrameKeyDown or another method to add behavior on keyPress/keyDown on the edit area within a rich text item?

This should be causing the standard widget level "keyDown" / "keyPress" et al handlers to fire. It appears this is not working as expected in Chrome. We're taking a look.

hi Martin - we've fixed key-handling for RichTextEditor in Chrome, in 8.3p and 9.0d. Just apply normal keyPress, etc, methods as usual. Please retest with a nightly of January 27 or later.

Thanks, will try!

This one is also solved (seems related) (will try it also)?

Yes, we would expect pressing Tab to tab out of the item - please let us know if you see any further unexpected behaviors
