How to cause a TextEdit to accept "TAB" key without changing focus?

[Jason Custer]

Hey there. Quick question.

Working on a text editor. I want the tab key to insert "\t". I managed to make this happen, but tab also changes focus. From what I can see, I can't use txtEdit.SetOnKey, so I catch keys from the whole app.

Can I cancel a key event? Is there any way to do this?

Thanks in advance!

I don't remember the key name of the tab (try use app.SetOnKey(function (action, name, code){}); and press it to find it), but you can just use app.DisableKeys("");//list. For example: VOLUME_UP,VOLUME_DOWN

@Kallikratidas, Thanks!

I read about DisableKeys somewhere, but I thought my app wouldn't get any key events from that key. As you said, it does.

My TextEdit is in Tab happiness land!

Thank you.

window.addEventListener("keydown", (event) => {

  if (event.key === "Tab") {

    event.preventDefault();

    // insert "\t" into the text editor

  }

});
