  Hi,

  I would like to implement a shape, where the enter button commits the editing and does not enter the next line.

  Is this possible?

  Thanks, Thom

  Hi Thom,

  You could handle the ShapeChanged Event that gets triggered when the Shape is selected. Then you could add the keydown event listener on the ShapeEditor, check for the “Enter” key down.

  Kindly refer to the following code snippet and the sample:

      // Bind the ShapeChanged Event
      spread.bind(GC.Spread.Sheets.Events.ShapeChanged, function (sender, args) {
          let shape = args.shape;
          if (args.propertyName === "isSelected" && shape.isSelected()) {
              setTimeout(() => {
                  let shapeEditorEl = spread.getHost().querySelector("div.gcSpread.shape-editor");
                  if (shapeEditorEl) {
                      // Add KeyDown Event Handler
                      shapeEditorEl.addEventListener("keydown", function (event) {
                          if (event.key === "Enter") {
                              // Prevent the Default
                              event.preventDefault();
                              // Take the focus out
                              shapeEditorEl.blur();
                              // Remove the last "\n" from the Shape's text
                              shape.text(shape.text().replace(/\n$/, ''))
                          }
                      })
                  }
              })
          }
      });
