Keypress event on custom editor

[Luis]

Hello Telerik,

I want to handle the "enter" key while keyboard navigation is enabled.

I could handle the keydown event within the tbody.

I need to handle a keypress event in a custom editor too. And here comes the trouble.. I registered a keypress event in the custom editor but is never fired with the "enter" key. The other keys like letters and numbers fire the event.

I could reproduce my code logic here:

am I missing something? My requirement is to handle keydown => keypress => and keyup in the editor.
The keydown and keyup is firing ok. 

Can you help me?

Thank you in advance, 

regards

Hi Luis,

Basically the "keypress" event is not fired as it executed after the "keydown" event (used by the Grid) and only if there is a character resulting from it. For more information on the matter you can check the following StackOverflow post:

• Difference between "keydown" and "keypress" events

I would suggest to use the global "keydown" handler to execute your custom code:

$("#grid table").on("keydown", function (e) {
        //if current key is Enter
        console.log(this);
        if (e.keyCode == 13) {
            //prevent keydown
            e.stopImmediatePropagation();
            var grid = $("#Employees").data("kendoGrid");
            var currentCell = grid.current();
