beforeKeyDown -> event.stopImmediatePropagation() doesn't work

[jarben]

I've tried the latest 0.12.6 version and noticed:
beforeKeyDown:function(ev){
ev.stopImmediatePropagation();
}

doesn't work anymore..

try: http://jsfiddle.net/0bg3cLjy and notice you can make changes in the editor by pressing keydown

[jarben]

found a workaround for this by calling:
ev.isImmediatePropagationEnabled = false;
ev.isImmediatePropagationStopped = function(){
return true;
};

instead of ev.stopImmediatePropagation();

You could also add Handsontable.Dom.enableImmediatePropagation(ev); at the top of your function as shown here.

I assume it not an issue anymore (in lack of recent activity and any other questions.)

[FeepingCreature]

You assume wrong. At least the documentation should be fixed. It advocates ev.stopImmediatePropagation() in places.

[AMBudnik]

Ok thanks @FeepingCreature for your suggestion.

At the moment im working in angular with handsonetable and i cant make it work.. the version is 2.0.0. It is a very crucial functionality which I need. Can you please help me out with it?

[AMBudnik]

Can I ask you to create a demo @arfis ?

[arfis]

i have created an demo on git.. https://github.com/arfis/angularTest. The TableComponent contains the table.

When I wanted to clone the repository I got an error and a note that I do not have a permission to do this.
Can you use a JS playground to create a demo? If not. Write me at support@handsontable.com

[arfis]

I have written you a mail

For those who may come across this having issues with this via Angular and accessing KeyboardEvent with the beforeKeyDown hook, here's are your options to being able to use preventDefault / stopImmediatePropagation as noted in the docs:

• Use the directive, which will supply the HOTInstance and the event list with KeyboardEvent as the first index.

Eg usage (in the directive):

• Use the settings instead of the directive. This will give you access to the actual KeyboardEvent directly, instead of the HOTInstance and event list.

Eg usage (in the settings):

To updated the subject I've just check v8.4.0 on

• Vanilla https://jsfiddle.net/handsoncode/v2pzb3dx/
• Angular https://jsfiddle.net/handsoncode/7cv6xbz4/
• React https://jsfiddle.net/handsoncode/ftvuszdo/
• Vue https://jsfiddle.net/handsoncode/zm5wt1yu/

and it works well in all of the cases with a simple implementation of

beforeKeyDown: function(ev) {
            ev.stopImmediatePropagation();
}
