Question

GrapesJS version

Describe the bug

How to reproduce the bug?

Open GrapesJS editor in Microsoft Edge.
Add a keymap for saving using either Ctrl+S or Ctrl+Shift+S with { prevent: true }.
Focus on the editor canvas (or anywhere in the editor).
Press the shortcut (Ctrl+S or Ctrl+Shift+S).

What is the expected behavior?

The GrapesJS command console.log("save") should execute. The browser should not open the “Save” or “Save As…” dialog

What is the current behavior?

The "console.log("save") not happen. The browser triggers its default “Save” or “Save As…” dialog. preventDefault() does not stop the browser shortcut in Edge.

Thanks for reporting this, @Axel303.

Great question about Prevent default not working for edge. The recommended approach with Canvas is to use the event-driven API.

Start here:

Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
Look for the on() event listener method
Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events

Common patterns:

// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));

// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));
