javascript - Primefaces SelectOneMenu selects item when ctrl+key (hotkey) is pressed -

i have jsf forms hotkeys, e.g., ctrl+s save data.

the problem is, when key combination pressed , focus on <p:selectonemenu> field, first item starting s (following example) selected , form submitted.

you can reproduce behavior in showcase, in first field, pressing ctrl+o. in chrome, @ least, it'll select first option , browser "open dialog".

i want component ignores letter when special key pressed.

i've tested behavior against select html element , "combo box" jquery ui, , doesn't happen. primefaces implementation of selectonemenu different wrapper input field.

i tried return false in both onkeyup , onkeydown attributes listed in pf user guide. no results.

i tried adding jquery keyboard event listeners preventdefault() , return false. nothing.

before digging primefaces code i'd know if there's known workaround case.

i checked out newer version of primefaces source svn repository. there javascript functions fixed in component.

then extracted fixed functions , put them in javascript file in order override original ones.

the code follows:

/**  * fix selectonemenu when key pressed along ctrl  */ primefaces.widget.selectonemenu = primefaces.widget.selectonemenu.extend({      bindkeyevents: function() {         var $this = this;          this.focusinput.on('keydown.ui-selectonemenu', function(e) {             var keycode = $.ui.keycode,             key = e.which;              switch(key) {                 case keycode.up:                 case keycode.left:                     $this.highlightprev(e);                 break;                  case keycode.down:                 case keycode.right:                     $this.highlightnext(e);                 break;                  case keycode.enter:                 case keycode.numpad_enter:                     $this.handleenterkey(e);                 break;                  case keycode.tab:                     $this.handletabkey();                 break;                  case keycode.escape:                     $this.handleescapekey(e);                 break;             }         })         .on('keyup.ui-selectonemenu', function(e) {             var keycode = $.ui.keycode,             key = e.which;             switch(key) {                 case keycode.up:                 case keycode.left:                 case keycode.down:                 case keycode.right:                 case keycode.enter:                 case keycode.numpad_enter:                 case keycode.tab:                 case keycode.escape:                 break;                  default:                     var text = $(this).val(),                     matchedoptions = null;                      cleartimeout($this.searchtimer);                      matchedoptions = $this.options.filter(function() {                         return $(this).text().tolowercase().indexof(text.tolowercase()) === 0;                     });                      if(matchedoptions.length) {                         var highlightitem = $this.items.eq(matchedoptions.index());                         if($this.panel.is(':hidden')) {                             $this.selectitem(highlightitem);                         }                         else {                             $this.highlightitem(highlightitem);                             primefaces.scrollinview($this.itemswrapper, highlightitem);                         }                     }                      $this.searchtimer = settimeout(function(){                         $this.focusinput.val('');                     }, 1000);                  break;             }         });     } });
