I would like to hook the keydown event in the TinyMCE Editor on the edit post admin page. I managed to hook the HTML content editor using the following code:
jQuery('#content').keydown(function(){
alert("keydown")
});
Here is my failed attempt at hooking the TinyMCE editor. The problem is that the editor hasn’t been init yet so the variable ed is undefined.
var ed = tinyMCE.getInstanceById('tinymce');
ed.onChange.add(function(ed, l) {
alert("keydown");
});
Any help would be much appreciated!
the TinyMCE Editor has its own keydown event handler and its hooked to a function on initiation so to do that you can create a tinymce plugin or use the wordpress initiation of it with
tiny_mce_before_init
hook like this:
