openEditor - how can we get the keypress details?

[morgunder]

have a column set up to open select2 on the keypress. but if i type in 111 i only get 11 within select2. is there a way to snag (or pass in) the keypress that caused the openEditor event to trigger? that way i think i can capture the initial 1 press.

thx

I imagine you already got this working. ;)

[morgunder]

yes did get this working. would you like anything from our implementation to share with others?

If you think worth, examples, anything I can publish in the website... ;)

I can create a section of user cases.

Can you please share the solution. This is coming up again at #236 and #246

Heres what I've tried but its not elegant because its bit of customization to the core jexcel code.

The idea is that I'd like my open editor to know that the open editor is being called due to doubleclick versus a keypress. For now, I've only changed the doubleclick handler to pass the event object to the open editor, but other handlers should change as well for interface consistency. This is against 1.5.7:

In double click handler, when calling open editor, pass the event object too. The second arg to open editor is null because it expects an empty argument also.
