Custom Keyboard Bindings/Shortcuts

[Bauer UK]

Suppose I'm initialising an editor as so:

// init editor

editor = ace.edit(id);            

// set the theme

editor.setTheme("ace/theme/twilight");

// generate the css mode

css_mode = require("ace/mode/css").Mode;

// set the mode to css

editor.getSession().setMode(new css_mode());

What's the best way to then go about binding a key to the editor? For the sake of example, Ctrl-S.

From what I saw, key bindings are defined in keybindings_default folder all in one go. I'm trying to make the TextMate version, but many combinations refuse to work. Interestingly, Ctrl-S is one of them.

Ah, I was hoping there would be a programmatic solution. In this particular instance, I'm injecting the editor to a page in a Google Chrome extension.

I'm not totally sure yet, but it looks like Ace uses APF.

have you looked into demo? it might help
var HashHandler = require("ace/keyboard/
hash_handler").HashHandler;
custom: new HashHandler({
"mycommand": "Alt-.|Alt-/|alt-\\|Ctrl-s"
})
editor.setKeyboardHandler(keybindings[value]);

 editor.commands.addCommand({
                    name: "myCommand",
                    bindKey: { win: "Ctrl-S", mac: "Command-S" },
                    exec: function (editor) {
                              alert("Ctrl-S has been pressed!");
                    }
});
