not receiving some keydown events

[matt richards]

some keydown events are not received, such as 'tab' and 'delete' maybe others, take the following source

<div id=editor style=height:300px></div>
<div id=output></div>
<script type=module>
      import ace from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/ace-builds/+esm';
      var editor                    = ace.edit('editor');
      editor.container.onkeydown    = e=>output.append(e.key);
</script>

codepen : ace-key-test

many thanks, ace editor is an excellent work

editor stops propagation of events that are handled. You can use capturing event listener to get these events before the editor

      editor.container.addEventListener("keydown", e=>output.append(e.key), true);
