Detect KeyDown in CustomJS

Community Support

Hello,

Is there way to check for KeyDown in plot js events?

I would like to know if Shift-Key is pressed.

E.g.

plot = Figure()

  callback = CustomJS(args={},

      code="""

      console.log('Callback');

      // Does not work!!!

     console.log(window.event.shiftKey);

      """)

  plot.js_on_event(events.SelectionGeometry, callback)

Hi Raffs,

I don’t think it’s possible with the current API, but you can register global handlers for keyup/keydown, store currently held keys and get this information from within a Bokeh CustomJS callback.

Thanks Eugene for the input.

  At the moment I'm trying to overwrite the SelectTool  like this:

There is a function that can be overwritten. Perhaps
I find a hook there to get what I need.
Have a nice day,
Raffs
