To implement a keyboard shortcut for the search dropdown in a react web app, you can use a JavaScript library like react-keyboard-shortcuts Suika game or handle the keydown event using React hooks like useEffect and useState.
Hi,
Sorry for the late reply.
If you're using our MenuComponent, you can display and hide the menu using the component's show and hide functions.
Here is an example:
useEffect(() => {
setTimeout(()=>{
if(!searchEl.current){
return;
}
const menuInst = MenuComponent.getInstance(searchEl.current);
const handleKeyDown = (event: KeyboardEvent) => {
if (event.key === "/") {
menuInst?.show(searchEl.current!);
event.preventDefault();
}
};
document.addEventListener("keydown", handleKeyDown);
})
}, []);Regards,

I build similar and here is a basic example (you have to customize this to your needs
import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react";
const Search = () => {
const [isDropdownVisible, setDropdownVisible] = useState(false);
useEffect(() => {
document.addEventListener("keydown", handleKeyDown);
return () => {
document.removeEventListener("keydown", handleKeyDown);
};
}, []);
const handleKeyDown = (event) => {
// Check if the "/" key is pressed
if (event.key === "/") {
event.preventDefault();
toggleDropdown();
}
};
const toggleDropdown = () => {
setDropdownVisible(!isDropdownVisible);
};
return (
<div>
<input
type="text"
placeholder="Search..."
onFocus={() => setDropdownVisible(true)}
onBlur={() => setDropdownVisible(false)}
/>
{isDropdownVisible && (
<div className="search-dropdown">
{/* Dropdown content goes here */}
<p>Dropdown Content</p>
</div>
)}
</div>
);
};
export default Search;
