How can "forceConsider" be set to true?

[valp124]

I need to set forceConsider argument to _onKeyDown function in event_handler.js to true. How can this be done?

The reason I need that is that I need to be able to cancel an action with an escape key, regardless of where the target is. In my case, the target sometimes falls into the black list of _shouldConsider function, and then my code doesn't work.

Thanks a lot.

@valp124 Are you wanting key bindings to work while a form element is focused?

[valp124]

@glortho Not a form element per se -- because there is no form -- but in practice is happens to be textarea in this case.

I work in a complex single page app environment (https://www.os-js.org/) and don't always control what is in focus, the "os" is managing virtual windows, desktop icons, etc. The upshot of all this is: I want to be able to force the escape key action regardless of what appears to be the target.

Okay @valp124 do you think a global keybinding along these lines would help? #69

[valp124]

If I understand #69 correctly, it should. I suppose that's the effect I would achieve if I could set forceConsider to true.

Ok @valp124 stay tuned for that. I'm hoping to work with @sheldonrong to get that merged next week.
