Customize shortcut keys in JavaScript RichTextEditor control

08 May 2023 / 1 minute to read

It can be achieved by using formatter property. We need to create customformatterModel to configure the keyConfig using IHtmlFormatterModel class and assign the same to the formatter property. Here, ctrl+q is configured to open the Insert Hyperlink dialog.

import { RichTextEditor, Toolbar, Link, Image, Count, IHtmlFormatterModel, HTMLFormatter, HtmlEditor, QuickToolbar } from '@syncfusion/ej2-richtexteditor';
RichTextEditor.Inject(Toolbar, Link, Image, Count, HtmlEditor, QuickToolbar);

let customHTMLModel: IHtmlFormatterModel = { // formatter is used to configure the custom key
    keyConfig: {
        'insert-link': 'ctrl+q', // configure the desired key
    }
};

let defaultRTE: RichTextEditor = new RichTextEditor({
    formatter: new HTMLFormatter(customHTMLModel), // to configure custom key
});
defaultRTE.appendTo('#defaultRTE');
