[Xerte-dev] Re: rss containing html5 links

[Pat Lockley]

within Xerte it makes sense as it only changes Xerte stuff.

There is a variable in the javascript called "last key pressed" or some such

There is a function called preview_window (it's the event handler for the
preview button) - it is in template_management or workspace management js -
so just say

If last key pressed is "control" then preview_html5

but I think the key state isn't tied to the action being control and click,
it is control was the last key pressed and click (which could be the same,
but not always)

Here is my logo suggestion
