get_IsBrowserAcceleratorKeyEnabled
This property allows developers to enable or disable the browser from handling a specific browser accelerator key such as Ctrl+P or F3, etc.
public HRESULT get_IsBrowserAcceleratorKeyEnabled(BOOL * value)
Browser accelerator keys are the keys/key combinations that access features specific to a web browser, including but not limited to:
Ctrl-F and F3 for Find on Page
Ctrl-P for Print
Ctrl-R and F5 for Reload
Ctrl-Plus and Ctrl-Minus for zooming
Ctrl-Shift-C and F12 for DevTools
Special keys for browser functions, such as Back, Forward, and Search
This property does not disable accelerator keys related to movement and text editing, such as:
Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down
Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V
Ctrl-A for Select All
Ctrl-Z for Undo
The CoreWebView2Settings.AreBrowserAcceleratorKeysEnabled
API is a convenient setting for developers to disable all the browser accelerator keys together, and sets the default value for the IsBrowserAcceleratorKeyEnabled
property. By default, CoreWebView2Settings.AreBrowserAcceleratorKeysEnabled
is TRUE
and IsBrowserAcceleratorKeyEnabled
is TRUE
. When developers change CoreWebView2Settings.AreBrowserAcceleratorKeysEnabled
setting to FALSE
, this will change default value for IsBrowserAcceleratorKeyEnabled
to FALSE
. If developers want specific keys to be handled by the browser after changing the CoreWebView2Settings.AreBrowserAcceleratorKeysEnabled
setting to FALSE
, they need to enable these keys by setting IsBrowserAcceleratorKeyEnabled
to TRUE
. This API will give the event arg higher priority over the CoreWebView2Settings.AreBrowserAcceleratorKeysEnabled
setting when we handle the keys.
For browser accelerator keys, when an accelerator key is pressed, the propagation and processing order is:
A CoreWebView2Controller.AcceleratorKeyPressed event is raised
WebView2 browser feature accelerator key handling
Web Content Handling: If the key combination isn't reserved for browser actions, the key event propagates to the web content, where JavaScript event listeners can capture and respond to it.
ICoreWebView2AcceleratorKeyPressedEventArgs has a Handled
property, that developers can use to mark a key as handled. When the key is marked as handled anywhere along the path, the event propagation stops, and web content will not receive the key. With IsBrowserAcceleratorKeyEnabled
property, if developers mark IsBrowserAcceleratorKeyEnabled
as FALSE
, the browser will skip the WebView2 browser feature accelerator key handling process, but the event propagation continues, and web content will receive the key combination.
