Detecting keybord Events

[anouar.abdelbari]

I took a look at sencha-touch-all-debug.js and it use Events like touchstart, touchmove... for touch screen and also mouse events but we can not control sencha touch apps with keybord events (keydown, keyuop...). What can I do to make it possible ?

Most fields fire the key events. Ex: Textfields have the keyup and action events.

That's true but if I want to control my app with my PC's keyboard ( Arrow keys, Enter, Esc....) ???

You mean like a game? What functionality would this add to a mobile app? Or is it only for devices with attachable keyboards? I'm first just trying to understand why you need such functionality like this.

I think you should look at the events guide: http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-0/#!/...ents-section-7

Exactly, some tablets and smartphones have an attachable keyboard and i want to add this options to my app. I need some technical help
