I have an Angular directive using jqlite and I want to bind a keypress, keydown and paste event to update the options on a directive.

I'm binding to the paste, keypress and keydown event using:

input.bind("paste.elementClass", updateOptions);
input.bind("keypress.elementClass", updateOptions);
// keypress does not fire if the backspace/delete button is pressed. This keydown listener triggers the
// keypress event if backspace/delete is pressed. Didn't use keydown listener instead of keypress because
// keydown did not register if multiple buttons are pressed (shift + d). The keyup event choked
// if a button was pressed and held for longer than the model debounce time.
input.bind("keydown.elementClass", function() {
        // handle this event differently
});

...

function updateOptions(event) {
    var key = event.which || event.keyCode;
    if (event.type === 'paste') {
      scope.internalModel.searchText = event.originalEvent.clipboardData.getData('text');
    } else {
      scope.internalModel.searchText = key ? String.fromCharCode(key) : "";
    }
    scope.onModelChange(scope.internalModel);
}

I tested my code and this solution works great in Chrome. However, when I test it in Firefox and Safari it fails. It appears that when I attempt to paste from the clipboard only the function attached to the keypress event gets called. If I comment out my binding to keypress then the function attached to keydown will get called. Finally, if I comment out keypress and keydown then the function bound to paste gets called and works properly.

Is there a way to prevent keydown and keypress events from being fired/called on Firefox and safari when pasting from the clipboard and still detecting keydown and keypress separately?

Update

Still no luck finding an answer to this issue I've attempted using ng-paste, ng-keypress, and ng-keydown. I've tried element.addEventListener for paste, keypress and keydown. I've used jQuery's .on and .bind without luck.

I've created a plunkr that reproduces the issue.

Final Update

I found a solution as listed below instead of using keypress I used keyup and keydown events to detect when control or meta(super/windows) key was pressed. Then I filter out the necessary key events. My final solution is using jQuery to bind and unbind events.
