Workaraund for missing keyBindings [message #139947]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a workaround htat KeyBindings are missing in RAP. I hav
a custom widget that is hidden somwehere in my application that listens
to keys and is able to call commands. So far so good. Now i have the
problem that i want th custom widget to be able to fire certain
KeyEvents so that I am not bound to calling commands from that widget
only. Is it somehow possible to fire a KeyEvent from that widget that
all KeyListeners would recognize?

Later,
Tom

I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand what you're trying to implement. I
guess one problem is that a custom widget would not receive events that
occur on other widgets, so you might want to attach a listener to the
client document as we did in Application.js.

I guess you already have some idea how to process events on the server
side, but as I said, I didn't understand how.
