EditingKeystrokeHandler (core)

@ckeditor/ckeditor5-core/src/editingkeystrokehandler

class

A keystroke handler for editor editing. Its instance is available in keystrokes so plugins can register their keystrokes.

E.g. an undo plugin would do this:

editor.keystrokes.set( 'Ctrl+Z', 'undo' );
editor.keystrokes.set( 'Ctrl+Shift+Z', 'redo' );
editor.keystrokes.set( 'Ctrl+Y', 'redo' );

    Parameters

    keystroke : string | Array<string | number>

    Keystroke defined in a format accepted by the parseKeystroke function.

    callback : EditingKeystrokeCallback

    If a string is passed, then the keystroke will execute a command. If a function, then it will be called with the key event data object and a cancel() helper to both preventDefault() and stopPropagation() of the event.
