Shortcut key in EJ2 JavaScript Rich text editor control

18 Apr 20235 minutes 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.

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

var defaultRTE = new ej.richtexteditor.RichTextEditor({
    formatter: new ej.richtexteditor.HTMLFormatter(customHTMLModel),
});
defaultRTE.appendTo('#defaultRTE');

We need to import IHtmlFormatterModel and HTMLFormatter to configure the shortcut key.
