Document Editor triggers the keyDown event every time when any key is entered and provides an instance of DocumentEditorKeyDownEventArgs. You can use the isHandled property to override the keyboard shortcut behaviour.
The following code shows how to prevent the CTRL + C keyboard shortcut for copying selected content in document editor.
import * as React from 'react';
import {
DocumentEditorComponent, SfdtExport, Selection, Editor, DocumentEditorKeyDownEventArgs
} from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-documenteditor';
//Inject require modules.
DocumentEditorComponent.Inject(SfdtExport, Selection, Editor);
export class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
public documenteditor: DocumentEditorComponent;
public componentDidMount(): void {
this.documenteditor.keyDown = function (args: DocumentEditorKeyDownEventArgs) {
let keyCode: number = args.event.which || args.event.keyCode;
let isCtrlKey: boolean = (args.event.ctrlKey || args.event.metaKey) ? true : ((keyCode === 17) ? true : false);
//67 is the character code for 'C'
if (isCtrlKey && keyCode === 67) {
//To prevent copy operation set isHandled to true
args.isHandled = true;
}
}
}
render() {
return (
<DocumentEditorComponent
id="container"
ref={scope => {
this.documenteditor = scope;
}}
isReadOnly={false}
enableSelection={true}
enableEditor={true}
height={'330px'}
/>
);
}
}Override or define a new keyboard shortcut behaviour instead of preventing the keyboard shortcut.
For example, Ctrl + S keyboard shortcut saves the document in SFDT format by default, and there is no behaviour for Ctrl + Alt + S. The following code demonstrates how to override the Ctrl + S shortcut to save a document in DOCX format and define Ctrl + Alt + S to save the document in SFDT format.
import * as React from 'react';
import {
DocumentEditorComponent, SfdtExport, Selection, Editor, DocumentEditorKeyDownEventArgs
} from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-documenteditor';
DocumentEditorComponent.Inject(SfdtExport, Selection, Editor);
export class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
public documenteditor: DocumentEditorComponent;
public componentDidMount(): void {
this.documenteditor.keyDown = function (args: DocumentEditorKeyDownEventArgs) {
let keyCode: number = args.event.which || args.event.keyCode;
let isCtrlKey: boolean = (args.event.ctrlKey || args.event.metaKey) ? true : ((keyCode === 17) ? true : false);
let isAltKey: boolean = args.event.altKey ? args.event.altKey : ((keyCode === 18) ? true : false);
// 83 is the character code for 'S'
if (isCtrlKey && !isAltKey && keyCode === 83) {
//To prevent default save operation, set the isHandled property to true
args.isHandled = true;
//Download the document in docx format.
this.documenteditor.save('sample', 'Docx');
args.event.preventDefault();
} else if (isCtrlKey && isAltKey && keyCode === 83) {
//Download the document in sfdt format.
this.documenteditor.save('sample', 'Sfdt');
}
}
}
render() {
return (
<DocumentEditorComponent
id="container"
ref={scope => {
this.documenteditor = scope;
}}
isReadOnly={false}
enableSelection={true}
enableEditor={true}
height={'330px'}
/>
);
}
}
