[neon] F1 Keystroke [message #1759873]

We tried to set a keystroke for "F1" in our application (with a subclass of AbstractKeyStroke).
In order to make it work correctly, we had to override the (private) JavaScript function _isHelpKeyStroke in the module sout.KeyStrokeManager to change it to a different key (F4).

Could this override of _isHelpKeyStroke cause any problems or is there another way to implement the F1-Keystroke?

Many thanks

Hi Andreas,

overriding this function should work just fine.

The only thing I can think of is that you should check if it still works whenever you update Scout to a new major release. Since you don't get any compile errors with JavaScript you will only know at runtime if it does not work anymore.

Regards
Claudio
