radEditor and Return key

[Markus]

Hello!

When user presses the return key, the focus should be set to the next control (as tab key does) instead of adding a new line. To enter a new line the user should press Shift+Return. How is this possible?

Thanks in advance and regards

Hi Markus,

I prepared for you and attached a sample example based on the RadEditor's Client Side API.
When pressing the TAB or Enter key you will set the focus on the next control. When pressing Shift+Enter you will insert a new line (a paragraph tag) in the editor.

Feel free to optimize the solution to fit your scenario and requirements.

Hello Rumen,

thanks for the sample, but on Shift+Return nothing happens. The code will be executed, but this doesn't reault ni a new line. Any ideas?

Hi Markus,

I examined the code and found that the reason for the problem is the following check:
if (range.pasteHTML).

To fix it delete the pasteHTML property and keep only the range object, e.g.

if (range)

For your convenience I have attached a video demonstrating my test.

Hello Rumen,

now I found the reasion why you can't redo the problem. It happens only if there is no text entered or if the cursor is at the beginning or at the end of a line. I those case no "<P>" will be added.
