I'm using the M1 release and have written a key handler that looks like this:
void _onKeyPress(KeyboardEvent e) {
switch (e.keyIdentifier) {
case KeyName.UP:
case KeyName.LEFT:
e.preventDefault();
prev();
break;
case "U+0020": // FIXME Must be a better way, or?
case KeyName.DOWN:
case KeyName.RIGHT:
e.preventDefault();
next();
break;
}
}
It works fine in Chrome, but not in FF or IE. There must be better way to handle the space bar and still keep it in one switch, right? I know that I can look at other fields to get space, but that is not a good alternative either (since then I would split the code into two switch statements.) Any way, the issue with it not working in FF and IE is worse. If I rewrite to use keyCode instead it works fine on all browsers.
void _onKeyPress(KeyboardEvent e) {
switch (e.keyCode) {
case 38:
case 37:
e.preventDefault();
prev();
break;
case 32:
case 40:
case 39:
e.preventDefault();
next();
break;
}
}
My issue is that I can't find the constants for the virtual key codes. Am I doing something wrong? What is the best way to handle key events cross browser compatible in Dart?
