Normalizing The Codemirror Onkeyevent With Jquery

I'm using CodeMirror along with jQuery to provide syntax highlighting on a pet PoC project. It's been doing great, until I realized that CodeMirror seems to be capturing key press

Solution 1:

$.Event is for creating custom events, i.e. to trigger them on your own later. You want $.event.fix.

var cm = CodeMirror.fromTextArea(someTextArea, {
    onKeyEvent : function (editor, e) {
        hotkey($.event.fix(e));
    }
});
