Does not work in textareas in TiddlyWiki

[MaxGyver83]

textern does not work in TiddlyWiki textareas. How to reproduce:

1. Go to https://tiddlywiki.com
2. Click on the + button (Create a new tiddler) on the right side panel. This opens a new div with 5 inputs and a large textarea.
3. Click into the textarea.
4. Use your textern shortcut.
5. Nothing happens.

I have tried to find the reason for this issue.

When I enter text into one of the inputs, I get values like those in shortcut.js:

• e = [object KeyboardEvent]
• window.event = undefined
• keyCode = 73
• character = i

When I enter text into the textarea, I get:

• e = [object Event]
• window.event = [object KeyboardEvent]
• keyCode = 73
• character = i

keyCode doesn't get updated in the textarea, no matter which key I press.

Then I changed

e = e || window.event;

to

e = window.event || e;

Then e is always a KeyboardEvent and the keyCodes are correct. But I still don't get vim openend.

Right yeah, I think the root cause for this is similar to what I'm hitting in https://github.com/jlebon/textern/pull/43. I.e. newly dynamically created textareas throw off shortcut.js.

OK, thanks for your answer!

This is fixed in the v0.6 release!
