Hi

I am working on an app for handicapped people and it would be a great use if I could catch the following keys: SPACE, ENTER, KEY UP, KEY DOWN, KEY LEFT, KEY RIGHT
A combination with ctrl etc. would be fine too (I saw that "Single key shortcuts are not supported")

Is it possible to catch those keys?
What would be the shortcuts for them?

I saw that you commented out the Arrows.

Thanks

Hi Petr

single key shortcuts works very well! Thank you!
I even can stop the listener by setting the commands to

commands = "";
delimiter = "|";
cordova.plugins.ExternalKeyboard.setKeyCommands(commands, delimiter);
cordova.plugins.ExternalKeyboard.redraw();

So I can use the keybord with every key for a normal Input-Field.
Afterwards I restart the listener by setting the commands again.

Now I have a new idea ;-)

How about a onKeyUp event?
I have some objects on the screen, that you can move around by pressing one of the arrow keys.
as long as the key is pressed, the object moves, but it should stop when you release the key.

Cheers

Hi,

Dealing with external key events in IOS is a big problem. For instance you have a bluetooth keyboard / barcode scanner connected to your IOS mobile device. Its not possible to catch key events without having a focus on a certain input. ( On Android its easy to listen to external key events )

I would be great to get all external key events on JavaScript side to deal with them, Instead of defining some shortcuts.

I m not sure if this is possible (No Xcode Dev ;-) )
