keypress xxforms:text for arrow keys

Hi,

Does anybody know the xxforms:text values for the arrow key events?. I tried left, Left, Up, up with or without modifier keys, nothing works. Responding to character keys like 'y' works as documented.

<xforms:action ev:event="keypress" xxforms:modifiers="Control" xxforms:text="y">

...

</xforms:action>

regards,

Gerrit

Re: keypress xxforms:text for arrow keys

This post was updated on .

I'm also interested in the answer to this question so I searched around ..
see this example which includes examples of keypress ..

https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/blob/master/src/resources/forms/orbeon/builder/form/form.xhtml

suggesting use of javascript keycodes ..

xxf:modifiers="control alt" xxf:text="&#37;"
xxf:modifiers="control alt" xxf:text="&#38;"
xxf:modifiers="control alt" xxf:text="&#39;"
xxf:modifiers="control alt" xxf:text="&#40;"

Does this work?

Hi DL,

Thanks!, works like a charm. I can now navigate a tree control using the ctrl + arrow keys.

regards,

Gerrit

In reply to this post by DL

Hi,

Seems I've been celebrating to soon, the up arrow (&) results in the following error message:

Fatal error: The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference.

Resource URL	Line	Column	Description	XML Element
file:/Library/Tomcat/temp/upload_2337a6b0_13829ca689c__7ffe_00000066.tmp	6	77
oxf:/ops/xforms/xforms-server.xpl	49	60	reading processor output name → data id → xforms-request	<p:output name="data" id="xforms-request"/>
oxf:/ops/xforms/xforms-server.xpl	55	65	reading processor output name → response id → xforms-response	<p:output name="response" id="xforms-response"/>

It's only the up arrow, the others work fine. I have no clue what could cause this.

regards,

Gerrit

Re: Re: keypress xxforms:text for arrow keys

My guess is that the "up" key might in some way be used by the "upload" control ??

http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/xforms-controls/upload-control

but that is just a guess from reading this ..

Line Column Description XML Element
file:/Library/Tomcat/temp/upload_2337a6b0_13829ca689c__7ffe_00000066.tmp

Re: Re: keypress xxforms:text for arrow keys

Reading more here ..

http://orbeon-forms-ops-users.24843.n4.nabble.com/keyboard-shortcut-for-quot-delete-quot-key-td2245374.html

At this point you can only have plain characters in
xxforms:text="...".

But that was posted in 2010. Does this constraint still apply?

Gerrit Boers

Re: Re: Re: keypress xxforms:text for arrow keys

It's still strange that only the up arrow key results in this error, maybe this is because the tree control react to it. Using 4 character keys for navigation works, so I'll stick to that for the time being. I still would like to use the arrow keys because otherwise I have to explain to users why I didn't use them.

regards,

Gerrit

Re: Re: Re: keypress xxforms:text for arrow keys

Your earlier post popped up here ..

http://orbeon-forms-ops-users.24843.n4.nabble.com/Tree-view-cursor-navigation-td4099993.html

One further thought .. perhaps you could include jQuery Hotkeys script into your form definition to listen for the arrow navigation keys .. then call the orbeon function from the jQuery function?

This requires preloading of jQuery libraries in view.xhtml <head> .. placed just before </head> tag. Typically ..

<!-- jQuery library links -->
<link href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>    
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>

Then place the jQuery Hotkey script in <body></body>

This issue with "key up" might have been fixed since 3.9, but right
now I can't find trace of a commit addressing this.

Hi Erik,

Should I try the 3.9 nightly build or go for the current 4.0 milestone?

Gerrit,

The nightly builds are currently work in progress between the
milestones. So it doesn't make much of a difference but I would try
the 4.0 M5 right now.
