Disable specific keyboard shortcuts

[Alex]

I want to let users format the text in the editor only using the tools in the toolbar. It seems that even if the tools for Italic or Underlined are not included the text can still be formated with the keyboard shortcuts (<ctrl> + i or <ctrl> + u). 

When using the shortcuts (for ex. <ctrl> + i) when the tool is not included the Execute event is not fired but the text can still be formated.

$("#editor").kendoEditor({
    tools: [
        "italic"
    ],
    execute: function(e) {
    console.log("executing command", e.name, e.command);
  }
    });

See http://dojo.telerik.com/@alexc/eHArEg

Is there a way to prevent unwanted keyboard shortcuts?

Sorry the correct code should be:

$("#editor").kendoEditor({
  tools: [
    "bold"
  ],
  execute: function(e) {
    console.log("executing command", e.name, e.command);
  }
});

The dojo link is correct though.

Hello Alexandru,

One way to disable certain keyboard shortcuts is to attach an event listener to the Kendo UI Editor keydown event and in the handler function - use the preventDefault() method:

keydown event API reference: http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/editor#events-keydown

For your convenience, I have prepared a sample demo with the Ctrl + I shortcut at:
