Enter key behavior as tab key

    Enter key behavior as tab key

    Hello.

    I'm kind of new to EXT.

    I would like to make enter key works exactly as the TAB key does in this example:

    https://examples2.ext.net/#/GridPane..._DirectMethod/

    I have already search the forum but can't find anything.

    Can any one help me please.

    Hello!

    Welcome to our forum!

    You want to change the behavior when an editor is active or when it is inactive.

    Hi, thank you.

    I want to change it while editor is active, I notice that if it were a regular textbox cell inside the grid, when you change cells, the text always get highlighted, But with enter key you have to press it twice to erase current value and enter a new one.

    What you need to do is to override onSpecialKey function in CellEditing plugin: http://docs.sencha.com/extjs/4.1.3/s...in-CellEditing

    Thank you for your Help.

    I can't find how to override the onSpecialKey function.

    I try with this:

     <KeyMap >
                        <Binding>
                            <ext:KeyBinding  Handler="edit2(this,#{gpDetallePedido});" >
                                <Keys>
                                    <ext:Key Code="ENTER" />
                                </Keys>
                            </ext:KeyBinding>
                        </Binding>
                    </KeyMap>
    But can't highlight next row cell value.

    So, you need to override the following function using the Ext.override method: http://docs.sencha.com/extjs/4.1.3/#...ethod-override

    onSpecialKey: function(ed, field, e) {
    	var me = this,
    		grid = field.up('tablepanel'),
    		sm;
    		
    	if (e.getKey() === e.TAB) {
    		e.stopEvent();
    		
    		if (ed) {
    			// Allow the field to act on tabs before onEditorTab, which ends
    			// up calling completeEdit. This is useful for picker type fields.
    			ed.onEditorTab(e);
    		}
    		
    		sm = grid.getSelectionModel();
    		if (sm.onEditorTab) {
    			return sm.onEditorTab(grid === me.grid ? me : me.lockingPartner, e);
    		}
    	}
    }
    Hopefully, if you change
    if (e.getKey() === e.TAB) {
    to
    if (e.getKey() === e.ENTER) {
    it will work.

    And one more tip, you should put your overriding after ResourceManager in order to be sure that all JS files are loaded.

    Thank you!!!!!

    I have to override RowModel too.

    Here is the code if some one else need it:

    
      Ext.override(Ext.grid.plugin.CellEditing, {
                 onSpecialKey: function (ed, field, e) {
                     var grid = this.grid, sm;
                     if (e.getKey() === e.TAB) {
                         e.stopEvent();
                         sm = grid.getSelectionModel();
                         if (sm.onEditorTab) sm.onEditorTab(this, e);
                     } else if (e.getKey() === e.ENTER) {
                         e.stopEvent();
                         sm = grid.getSelectionModel();
                         if (sm.onEditorEnter) sm.onEditorEnter(this, e);
                     }
                 }
             });
    
             Ext.override(Ext.selection.RowModel, {
                 lastId: null,
                 onEditorTab: function (ep, e) {
                     var me = this,
                view = me.view,
                record = ep.getActiveRecord(),
                header = ep.getActiveColumn(),
                position = view.getPosition(record, header),
                direction = e.shiftKey ? 'left' : 'right',
                newPosition = view.walkCells(position, direction, e, false),
                newId = newPosition.row,
                grid = view.up('gridpanel');
    
                     if (me.lastId != newId && me.lastId != null) {
                         deltaX = me.lastId < newId ? -Infinity : Infinity;
                         header = grid.headerCt.getHeaderAtIndex(newPosition.column);
                         if (header) {
                             while (!header.getEditor()) {
                                 newPosition = view.walkCells(newPosition, direction, e, false);
                                 header = grid.headerCt.getHeaderAtIndex(newPosition.column);
                             }
                         }
                     } else {
                         deltaX = ep.context.column.width * (direction == 'right' ? 1 : -1);
                     }
                     grid.scrollByDeltaX(deltaX);
                     me.lastId = newPosition.row;
                     Ext.defer(function () {
                         if (newPosition) ep.startEditByPosition(newPosition);
                         else ep.completeEdit();
                     }, 100);
                 },
                 onEditorEnter: function (ep, e) {
                     var me = this,
                view = me.view,
                record = ep.getActiveRecord(),
                header = ep.getActiveColumn(),
                position = view.getPosition(record, header),
                direction = e.shiftKey ? 'up' : 'down',
                newPosition = view.walkCells(position, direction, e, false),
                newId = newPosition.row,
                grid = view.up('gridpanel');
    
                     deltaY = 20 * (direction == 'down' ? 1 : -1);
                     grid.scrollByDeltaY(deltaY);
                     me.lastId = newPosition.row;
                     Ext.defer(function () {
                         if (newPosition) ep.startEditByPosition(newPosition);
                         else ep.completeEdit();
                     }, 100);
                 }
             });
