Global keypress

[orgreeno]

Using Designer 2, what is the best way to listen for a keypress event for the entire app? Can I add a keypress listener to the main panel? Or listen for keypress DOM events?

Probably subscribing to the key event on the body.
eg
Ext.getBody().on

You could set this up in your Application launch method.

Should this fire the alert?
launch: function() {
alert("launched");
Ext.create('MyApp.view.main_panel', {fullscreen: true});
}
The app loads but the alert does not fire.

It should. I just tested a simple application by doing the following:

Start a touch 2.0 project
Drag out a Panel
Add a launch method to Application
add an alert to the launch method

Save and preview the project in the browser.

the code generated for Application was:

Ext.Loader.setConfig({
    enabled: true
});

Ext.application({
    views: [
        'MyPanel'
    ],
    name: 'MyApp',

    launch: function() {
        alert('launch');
        Ext.create('MyApp.view.MyPanel', {fullscreen: true});
    }

});
