[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (RF-11837) Hot key: onkeypress attribute doesn't work with special keys

[Lukáš Fryč (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-11837?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12654248#comment-12654248 ] 

Lukáš Fryč commented on RF-11837:
---------------------------------

Problem is with {{jquery.hotkeys.js}} plugin which does not observe {{keypress}} event when special key is hold ([there is issue managed outside of upstream|https://github.com/tzuryby/jquery.hotkeys/issues/7]).

I'm not suggesting to go more deeply, since plugin itself is not addressing this issue.

We should either

* *document that special keys can't be used* with {{keypress}}
* or rather *remove this attribute at all*
** it can be replaced with {{keyup}}
