Question

I want to submit the form if Enter is pressed and stop the event if Shift + Enter is pressed. The callback for this has Ext.EventObject parameter which does not provide any way to check if shiftkey is pressed.

it has two methods .hasModifier and .isSpecialKey. Both returns boolean. There is no way to find if shiftkey is pressed. how do I trace it?

This is my textarea component:

{
    region : 'center',
    margins : '5 0 0 0',
    xtype : 'textarea',
    name : 'chatmessage',
    enableKeyEvents: true,
    listeners: {
        keydown: function(textfield, evt, eOpts){
            console.log(evt.getKey());
        }
    }
}

I tried evt.shiftKey. Its undefined.

This can be done with little trick with keydown and keyup events a flag.

listeners : {
    keydown : function(tf, e, opt) {
        if (e.getKey() == e.SHIFT) {
            this.shiftKeyPressed = true; // a flag
            return;
        }
        if (e.getKey() != e.ENTER && (this.shiftKeyPressed == undefined || (this.shiftKeyPressed == false))) {
            // Submit form
            e.stopEvent();
        }
    },
    keyup : function(tf, e, eOpts) {
        if (e.getKey() == e.SHIFT) {
            this.shiftKeyPressed = false;
        }
    }
}
