[INFO REQ] Hotkey in the field triggers

[henrique]

Is it possible to have hotkeys on the triggers in the fields?

Not supported build-in, but you can listen to DOM keydown/keypress events and handle it yourself.

It would be interesting to have the possibility to configure this, without having to do something outside the components.

We have this ticket open to look into this: https://github.com/bryntum/support/issues/4313

This is already supported.

Triggers are fully fledged widgets. So they do have that currently undocumented keyMap config.

You can override the default triggers in any field to add mappings.

As an example:

myCombo.triggers.expand.keyMap = { 'Ctrl+E' : 'onClick' };
myCombo.on('keydown', 'onFieldKeyDown', myCombo.triggers.expand);

So then control+E (CMD+E on Mac) will open the combo's dropdown.

or if you want to configure it in. Here I'm reconfiguring the resource combo in the eventEdit feature

    features : {
        eventEdit : {
            items : {
                resourceField : {
                    triggers : {
                        expand : {
                           key : 'Ctrl+E'
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
