Webix UI 1.9: Hotkeys for Controls and Other UI Improvements

We are glad to introduce the release of Webix UI 1.9, a JavaScript library for building fast desktop and mobile apps. The new version includes some UI improvements that speed up apps development as well as enhancements of the skins and some bug fixes.

Hotkeys for Controls

The hotkey functionality was initially included in the Webix API. But you could implement hotkeys for controls only by using custom functions.

With the new version of the library, you get the possibility to define hotkeys for controls (inputs, buttons) in one line of code. Pressing a hotkey is fully equal to clicking on the corresponding input/control. It will bring focus to the input and invoke all the attached click handlers.
