How could i trigger a function when the user press / in angular directly from the keydown function?
<div (keydown.\)="alerting()"> </div>
<div (keydown.+)="alerting()"> </div>
Those both work, but
<div (keydown./)="alerting()"> </div>
<div (keydown.Divide)="alerting()"> </div>
The first generate a error, the second doesn't work
I know i could go with
<div (keydown)="alerting()"> </div>
And in the angular module
alerting ( event: any ) {
if ( event.key === "/")
...
}
But there is a way to trigger it directly from the template like on the first example?
html
<input (KeyCriteria)="onKeydown($event)">
TS
onKeydown(event) {
if (event.key === "Enter") {
console.log(event);
}
}
more keys ref
ENTER <input (keydown.enter)="...">
ESC <input (keydown.esc)="...">
ALT <input (keydown.alt)="...">
TAB <input (keydown.tab)="...">
BACKSPACE <input (keydown.backspace)="...">
CONTROL <input (keydown.control)="...">
COMMAND <input (keydown.meta)="...">

here is how you define keyup event if it is not defined
if (typeof KeyEvent == "undefined") {
var KeyEvent = {
