Backspace and Enter when Editor is disabled

[Kevin]

Hi,

We're using an Editor and due to a flag it occasionally needs to be disabled.  Disabling works fine using $($('#Content').data().kendoEditor.body).attr('contenteditable', false); but there is still one issue.

Even after its disabled, highlighting text and hitting either backspace or enter removes the text.  I've tried catching keydown, keyup and keypress and preventing default, but that doesn't prevent the behaviour.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Kevin

Hello Kevin,

Disabling of the editor is not supported at this time. Perhaps you can hide it from the user and show only the content instead of hacking out a disabled editor?

Hi Alex,

I was mostly hoping to keep the UI experience consistent, I'll take another approach.  Just using the content is a good suggestion, I can always wrap it in similar styling.

Thanks,
Kevin
