Customize keyboard navigation ?

VictorBerchet — Thu, 10 Sep 2020 14:40:54 GMT

The key bindings used for navigation with the JS API are specific to ArcGIS.

It seems like most other platform (Google Earth, Google Maps, Cesium, ...) use Shift + Left click to rotate the view around the camera center. The only way to do that with the JS API is right click + drag at least when the device has no touch screen.

Rotating becomes a pain when you only have a touchpad.

It would be super nice to be able to override the key bindings to add custom ones.

Is there any plan ?

Thanks for this great API.

For now I have solved my problem using the following code:

const toggle = view.ui.find('navigation-toggle') as NavigationToggle;

view.on('key-down', (e) => {

if (e.key == 'Control' && !e.repeat) {

toggle.toggle();

}

});

view.on('key-up', (e) => {

if (e.key == 'Control') {

toggle.toggle();

}

});
