Keypressed event on safari

[sfwalter]

Hi,

I am trying to trap the F1 key so I do this:


Ext.get(document).on("keypress", function(e) {
if(e.getKey()==112) {
alert('f1');
}
}, this);


It works fine on firefox, but in Safari it doesn't work at all. Do I need to use a different event for Safari?


Thanks in advance. Scott.

Oh this is weird on Firefox 112 is being trigged when either "F1" or the letter "p" is pressed. On Safari only the "p" triggers the code.

Why would this be an Ext bug? In Safari keypress event is always messed up for special keys. We remap many to normalize them but not all (we don't touch F keys, you get what the browser reports).

On a side note, keydown is more consistent across browsers.

I just thought something crazy was going on. Btw by using keydown, the problem went away. :)
