Motivation
In #4924 @samuller mentioned that the "/" key on the NiceGUI website doesn't work flawlessly to open the search dialog on Firefox because the default handler opens Firefox' built-in search field. We also discussed how to bring the
preventDefault()
andstopPropagation()
functions toui.keyboard
.Implementation
js_handler
..on('key', ..., js_handler=...)
to handle key events on the client and conditionally callpreventDefault()
orstopPropagation()
.js_handler
function is used to improve the "/" key behavior on the NiceGUI website.Progress
