Custom Text Editor Key Shortcuts
Answered
Hi, I have a Pycharm plugin with custom editor implementation. How do I block the default Key shortcuts, for example F1-F8, and have it call my callbacks instead? Also, I'd need to detect CTRL Up / Down. I tried TypedHandlerDelegate, but that only detects keystrokes producing some characters.
Thx, Milo

Hi Milo,
Please replace shortcuts carefully to not break IDE UX. It is important that users get the expected behavior for shortcuts they know. See https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/plugin-user-experience.html for the full context.
I would try to register your actions with the same shortcuts you want to override and implement
com.intellij.openapi.actionSystem.ActionPromoterwhich promotes your actions whenPlatformCoreDataKeys.FILE_EDITORfrom data context is your editor.Hi Karol,
perfect, thanks, that is exactly what I needed.
