Bind to DOM elements other than textarea and input.

[andre-d]

I would like to add an alternate mode which fires off keyboard events rather than appending text (for use with DOM elements other than input and textarea). Should help with people who would like to use a virtual keyboard with webgl and canvas games and the sort. Pull requesting when I get the free time to code it up.

Hi, have you managed to bind it to other elements besides textarea or input?

You can bind and trigger a keyboard to open on content editable elements now, but there is a javascript error when trying to get the caret position within the contenteditable element. This is a problem with the included caret positioning plugin.

I have been considering changing the caret positioning plugin over to Rangy, but it would require some modifications to work with this plugin. I have also thought about using this input mask plugin to do all the caret positioning work, and provide a method to add an input mask. Either way, it's not something that will get done soon. Sorry :(

Contenteditable support added in v1.27.0-beta.
