Thank your for this answer,
what I mean is a shortcut key that do the save of the content as I hit the "save" button in the manager button bar (ie save my snippet modifications in the db), CTRL-S will save the page in a file (on most browser).
The toggle highlight shortcut is a very good idea, but as CTRL-H is often used to show/hide the history of the browser, wouldn’t it be interact with browser shortcut ?
Perhaps an option in the configuration of the plugin which allow the user to choice his own could be a good way.
I’m pretty sure that you can hijack any event in invoked by the DOM...in one way or another. In otherwords, the reason you can use the CTRL+S feature of EditArea plugin, is because it was programmed to listen to an event (EventHandler), and respond to that event once it is heard. In the case of our CTRL+S shortcut, we
to prevent the "Save" feature of the Browser from ever occurring. End result? CTRL+S simply calls on MODx "save" icon’s
onClick() function, and saves the doc/chunk/snippet/plugin, etc.
Also, since within the manager, the odds of you actually wanting to Save that document’s HTML source, or wanting to view the History--
all while actively editing a document...are probably pretty slim.
However, I really like your idea of users setting their own hot-keys. It’d be cool to build a cookie-based, "plugin" config. manager for EditArea, where users could submit add-ons, such as: Bookmarks (references to line #’s or function() names, etc.), Browse to Image (as seen on TinyMCE), etc. With EditArea’s built-in methods of handling plugins, it’d actually be fairly easy.
I’ll take a look at the core hack.
