how to do command enter and preventing enter from being sent to code editor?

[TheBuilderJR]

tried this to no avail

        onKeyDown={(e) => {
          if (e.key == "Enter" && (e.ctrlKey || e.metaKey)) {
            onSubmit(e);
            return false;
          }
        }}

I was looking at this package, and got the same issue. Linked codesandbox doesn't work for me (using Firefox/Linux (Pop!)) Enter events will still be sent and be added to the CodeEditor. The same onKeyDown eveent on a normal textarea works as expected though. So might be an issue with how onKeyDown is implemented on the CodeEditor?

onKeyDown={(event) => {
+  event.preventDefault();
  console.log(">>>>");
+  return true
}}

@aleda145 Maybe it can solve your problem

It doesn't work :/, same problem. Also tried adding event.stopPropagation();, didn't help either. My enter event is still sent to the codeEditor, creating a new line.

The following textArea works as expected for me

<textarea
  onKeyDown={(event) => {
    event.preventDefault();
  }}
></textarea>

Let me know if there anything you want from me to debug this!

Great package, I still use it! :star:

I wanted it to run a SQL query on shift+Enter and not create a new line. But changed to ctrl+space instead, works just as well :smile: !

Running into the same issue -- the event cannot be stopped. Any update here?

Maybe I don't understand what it means, haven't solved the problem yet?
