Good.Thanks for sharing your code.But instead raising old threads create new topic with your solution.

I too used this hotkey component in one of my application.But when coming to the inputtext+hotkey combination I just used javascript handler solution instead jquery.

Well it may be little bit old, but when you google this problem, you will end on this page. Thats the reason, I have added it here (and also because munkee requested it).

If you would have created a new topic, google would also have found that. You could ave given it a subject with 'solution' in it and reference it from this old post...

I don't understand this limitation. For example if the user press F9, the form must be saved instead of clicking a button.

I find it hard to explain to the user that it doesn't work if there is a focused input on page.

Well I removed p:hotkey and did this :

Code: Select all

<p:remoteCommand name="f9remoteCommand" action="#{beanView.modify}" />
<script>
		$(window).keydown(function (event) {
		    if (event.which == 120) {
		    	f9remoteCommand();
		    }
		})
</script>

So for me p:hotkey must be improved.

See the very last line of the documentation page: https://primefaces.github.io/primefaces ... ?id=hotkey

It looks like its is intentional: https://github.com/primefaces/primefaces/issues/2045

I know that the limitation is in the documentation.
But it is not very handy. Imagine you have a lot of input fields, you have to hit the tabulation a lot of time to get out of focus and then trigger the hotkey.

In my case, the users want to be able to validate a form without clicking.

I'm happy with my "workaround" but I would have preferred using p:hotkey.

Did anyone solve this issue by writing there own handler?
