Chat submit by enter

I have set up a chat with a rich text box, and I want it to submit when clicking enter. It must not submit when holding shift though.

Have you simply tried just putting the onKeyPress as enter only.

 $w("#yourinput").onKeypress( (event) => { 
 if (event.key === "Enter") {
 //rest of code....

This has also been asked in previous posts, best one here to view.

Also, have a look at Keyboard Events too.

Hi @sailorcihan @givemeawhisky (lol sorry, duplicate account), I still need help on this. Can you help me? Thanks!

This is my code snippet:

$w("#richTextBox1").onKeyPress((event) => {
    console.log("keyPress detected")
    if (event.key === "Enter") {
        console.log("keyPressEnter detected")
    }
})

And when looking in the console, nothing shows up.

@webmasterq the code id fine (if you put it inside $w.onReady() ). So the problem is somewhere else.

@jonatandor35 My code looks like this:

$w.onReady(() => {

//Some stuff to check if the user is logged in and has permissions

    setInterval(() => {
        //Maybe this snippet keeps the following from running?
        refresh();
    }, 1000)
    
    $w("#richTextBox1").onKeyPress((event) => {
        console.log("keyPress")
        if (event.key === "Enter") {
            console.log("keyPress === Enter")
        }
    })
})

@jonatandor35 Ok so I forgot a bracket lol. It now detects keypresses, but not the Enter.

It does not see it as a KeyPress, because the whole console log doesn’t show up when I hit Enter or Backspace.

@webmasterq So I don’t know. It worked for me many times. Are you using a standard keyboard/ A normal cellphone?

I’m using a standard keyboard yes

@webmasterq I checked it and you’re right. “Enter” and “backspace” are detected in a regular user input, but not in a RichTextBox.
Maybe it’s a bug, you should let Wix team know.

Okay, too bad though
