BUG: Keyboard shortcuts/Keymaps not working

Question

Version: 0.17.22

Are you able to reproduce the bug from the demo?

  • Yes
  • No

I can't reproduce it in a demo however you can see it for yourself if log into Documint using the following credentials:

then make a change to the template and try using ctrl+z

What is the expected behavior? Should be able to use mapped keyboard shortcuts (ie. ctrl+z) but they don't work.

What is the current behavior? The keymaps are registered but they don't work. When I run keymaps.getAll() I get a list of all of the default keymaps. When I listen for a keymap to be emitted I get nothing. When I add a custom keymap (eg. alt+u) either through the config or adding it on init it doesn't fire either.

I'm really at a loss. Can anyone please help?

Are you able to attach screenshots, screencasts or a live demo?

  • Yes (attach)
  • No

You were right, it wasn't React or GrapesJS. Event propagation was being stopped by the rc-drawer component I was using. @artf thanks for your help, this has been an issue from day one.

Hey @Joshmamroud we have this code that propagates keydown keyup keypress events to the parent document, this allows keymaps to work, ensure to not contain any code/component which prevents the propagation of those events.

Hey @artf, I believe it may be blocked by React. Any suggestions on how to re-bind these event listeners? Not even sure if that is the right solution or path.
