Prevent default Esc behaviour for keyboard navigation

[Jack Dunn]

Hi,

When navigating the scheduler with keyboard, how can I prevent the "Escape" key from returning to the previously selected cell?

For example, I click here:

Then I move left three times with keyboard:

Then I press Esc:

It takes me back to the initial cell, which I do not desire.

I have already tried:

1. Listening to key press and then calling selectCell to explicitly select the cell I am navigating to

 schedulerRef.current.selectCell(firstSelected as HTMLElement & HTMLTableCellElement);

2. Listening to key "Escape" and then

e.preventDefault();

e.stopPropagation();

Hello Satheesh,

Thank you for the update.

Today, I updated to v22.1.34 and while the aforementioned has been fixed, there is a new bug which is causing us issues.

We use inline editing via the setting:

allowInline={true}

Typically, our users will click on a cell (which invokes the inline-edit input mode), then press `Escape` to exit inline-edit mode, then navigate cells using the keyboard arrows.

This was working fine in the previous version, however it is now broken in the new version.

In the new version, you click on a cell (which invokes the inline-edit input mode), then press `Escape`, but then you cannot navigate using keyboard arrows.

I have attached two links with GIFs demonstrating what I mean.

(Working) Version 21.2.3

(Not working) Version 22.1.36

P.s. Please could you allow GIF upload in Syncfusion forums?
