Bind to Key Strokes

[dcipher]

Hi

Binding to a mouse click is useful but it would be helpful if we could also bind to key presses such as Enter, Tab or Escape or other keys. So let's assume that someone was using this in a keyboard only scenario. It would be helpful to be able to bind certain keys per widget or per window. The binding would send back the widget ID and the key that was pressed. In my case we are considering using this interface in private fueling yards that only have industrial weather proof keyboards.

Thanks,
Simon

Right now, webui auto detects the mouse clicks. But you can easily extend it using JavaScript.

document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {

  // Get Pressed Key
  const keyPressed = event.key;

  // Send the key to the backend function
  webui_fn('MyFunction', keyPressed).then((response) => {

        // Print the response if any
        console.log("MyFunction Returned: ", response);
  });
});
