Close infoWindow with ESC key?

Question

Has anyone implemented a listener to close the infoWindow when the ESC key is pressed?

If so are you able to share the code, so I don't reinvent the wheel?

Thanks,
Steve

As the Internet moves to the "Web 3.0" paradigm, I think it's almost necessary to incorporate the keyboard as a part of my mapping applications. So personally, I use Shortcuts.js to handle the mapping of all of my keyboard shortcuts. It's as simple as adding this to your HTML: And then adding the following to your Javascript's init or dojo.addOnLoad: // Define some keyboard shortcuts var kbdOptions = { disable_in_input: true, propagate: false }; shortcut.add("Escape", function() { N.myMap.infoWindow.hide(); }, kbdOptions); Other examples: I use F for full extent, I for the identify tool, Q and W for prev/next extent. It really helps the powerusers out there make the most out of your application, without them needing to fumble around with toolbars.

Nice one hzhu! Now, what do I need to do to get you to start using code tags? 😉
