Editor: How to enable Tabulator inside the editor textbox

[BigzampanoXXl]

Hello,

I use the Editor control in my MVC application. I need to support the Tabulator key inside the Editor textbox.
When I press the Tabulator key, the Editor control looses the focues. But I need the support of the Tabulator key inside the Editor textbox.

Is there any "hack" or workaround to perform this action in the Editor textbox?

Hi Dietmar,

 
You can attach keydown event handler to the body of the document inside the Editor Iframe element in which to prevent the event and execute your custom code. Please check the example below:

$(function () {
    $("iframe").contents().find("body").on("keydown", function (e) {
        if (e.keyCode == 9) {
            var editor = $("#editor").data("kendoEditor");
            editor.exec("inserthtml", { value: "  " });
            e.preventDefault();
        }
    })
})
