Custom Widget react on "ESC" Key

Post by mprattinger »

Hi,

we have created a widget which we use as the topbar in our screens. Now we want to react when the user presses the "ESC"-Key and run code which is in the widget.
I can attach to the keyevent but it seems that the ESC and all the F-keys are catched by pui and is not bubbled up to my event listener.
Is there a way, how we can register to these keypresses too?

Thanks,
Michael

You would use the addEvent() function to add a keyup or keydown event to the screen https://docs.profoundlogic.com/x/KQAy and the removeEvent() routine to remove it later. https://docs.profoundlogic.com/x/KwAy

Profound UI does not block these events from propagating ("bubbling up")
