Hi, Iyp.

Try to use this way http://wiki.eclipse.org/RAP/FAQ#How_do_I_implement_a_key_bin ding_that_triggers_a_Command.3F to implemented KeyListener to handle F1 pressing.
Guess it helps.

Yury.

The nature of RAP doesnt alouw Function keys (F1 up to F12). Remember that RAP runs in a sandbox (the Browser they often have set functions to the Function keys (e.g. F1 in Google Chrome is new TAB)). This means binding keys to Function keys like F1 is impossible unless you change the Browser your end user works with (writing your own or something like that but even then I think qooxdoo dont support it.

You can by using the given link bind keys to CTR+1 etc. But I have a hard head in bidning keys with F1 etc.

Hi,

you can use Control#addHelpListener. This even prevents the native help
window from the browser itself and you can fire up your own help window.
