Delete node by keybord button

[Niclas Ahlqvist]

Do you have an example of deleting a node by keyboard button click?

Hello Niclas,

You can achieve this by attaching OnClientKeyPressing  event. Here is a sample code which deletes the node on Delete key press.
javascript:

function OnClientKeyPressing(Sender, args)
{
     if (args.get_domEvent().keyCode() == 127)//Checking for delete key
       {
           var node = args.get_node()
           Sender.trackChanges();
           node.get_parent().get_nodes().remove(node);
           Sender.commitChanges();
       }
 }

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hi Cyril,

Actually they both should work for the "Delete" key:
