[Feature request] Implement "beforeinput" event

Unread post by SemiKebab » 2024-02-04, 02:52

Please consider implementing the beforeinput event (which is close to the keypress event).

Because of this missing implementation, currently I have to write the following in order to work on Pale Moon:

Code: Select all

const eventType = ('onbeforeinput' in inputElm) ? 'beforeinput' : 'keypress';
inputElm.addEventListener(eventType, function (e) {
    // ...
});
References: See also this issue on W3C UI Events: Event order between "keypress" and "beforeinput".
