I made a simple calculator extension that can use keyboard inputs as an input method. The problem is that sometimes it will just take the inputs right away when I open the extension, but sometimes I need to click on the pop-up for it to start working. How would I go about fixing this issue?
The code handling the keyboard inputs looks like this:
document.addEventListener(‘DOMContentLoaded’, function() {
document.addEventListener(‘keydown’, (event) => {
switch (event.key) {
case 1: processInput(event.key); break;
// Cases for each input option
}
}
}
@Stereng, welcome to the Add-ons section of Discourse!
I think what you’re saying is that the extension’s popup doesn’t always receive focus after clicking the extension’s action button in the toolbar. Sometimes you have to manually focus the popup by clicking inside the popup’s document. Is that correct?
If so, it looks like these two bug reports may track the issue you’ve described:
