How to do key stroke filtering

#1

Hello;

Is there a way to have every keystroke be passed to a handler/func/filter first, and if such a handler can’t handle it, then keys are passed to a default handler?

An example to help with this question: say I want to record every key, without affecting the default Sublime functionality. One approach would be to have a func that is called first, it saves key strokes to a file and then calls the default entry point for Sublime. // I’m not trying to do this, just using this example to clarify my question.

Regards;

In other words, you want to be able to choose to run the next command in the command list for a specific keystroke?
I.e. if I bind my action to “ctrl+d”, I could choose from inside my command to call the “next in line” command for ctrl+d. This would allow you to do what you’re asking for.

If so, then I’ve wanted this functionality a few times, and I think it would make a great addition to the api.
