Disclaimer - This is a rather knarly one for which I’m not sure there is an “easy” solution that meets all use cases. Looking for some creative thinking on this one…

When a hotkey is assigned to a button that exists within a table drawer, when the hotkey is invoked, it is not executed on the drawer that has the focus.

For example, let’s say a Tab page for Accounts has a drawer containing a table of contacts for that account. The table for contacts has a global action for “add new” with an assigned hotkey of Ctrl-Shift-C. When on the page with one of the drawers having the focus, pressing Ctrl-Shift-C results in the new contact being added to be the last row in the Accounts model whose drawer is visible. I’m assuming this is because it was the last rendered row to register the hotkey event delegate and it’s using executing preventDefault/stopPropagation.

Our users are doing data entry so having to use the mouse is less than ideal.

One idea I had on how to resolve would be to perform a conditional check in the delegate to ensure that element is in the focus area before executing the logic. It appears the code already does a visible check but possibly adding “:focus” check as well to the element & its children (maybe even parent depending on HTML structure). For example, adding something like (e.hasFocus() || e.children(“:focus”).length) might work (could also use addBack() instead)?

Thoughts/Ideas?

Steps to repro:

1. Create page using below XML


2. Open page in preview mode


3. Expand all drawers


4. Click “Ctrl-Shift-I” to add a new account - Account gets added to top of table as expected


5. Click “Ctrl-Shift-C” to add a new contact - The contact will be added to the last visible drawer
