Question

I have a simple textbox and a textarea which is “tinymce-d”.
I’d like to append characters that I type into tinymce to textbox contents until I press ENTER

Correction of ShankarSangolis approch. Tinymce may be initialized for a textarea, but it is a contenteditable iframe while the textarea (or other init html element) becomes hidden. This is the correct way to do it. You need to call this code eigther on tinymce init or afterwards befor a user can type.

// the editorid equals the textarea id!
var editor = tinymce.get(editor_id) || tinymce.editors[0]; // use first tinymce editor if no editorid was provided
$(editor.getBody()).keyup(function(e){
   if(e.which != 13){
      $("textbox").val(this.value);
   }
});
