HotKey Default Action (Checked the previous topics)

[magiccreative]

hi,

I checked the previous few topics on how to disable default action with rich:hotKey but couldn't make it work.

My goal is to have only Alt as default key. How would I do that?

<rich:hotKey key="alt" type="onkeydown"
 handler="xxxFunction(); return false;" />

That didn't work :).

additionally when alt is used in a combination it is ok, but at the end of the handler the focus is on the default action ---> File in browser

This looks like just browser related one. Our component built on top of jQuery plugin and here is info from the plugin devs:

look to Overrides Browser Native Shortcuts (f5, Ctrl-l, etc) section
