Ace: click event on the keyword

[nukl]

i'm trying to assign click event on highlighted keywords like this:

 $('.ace-keyword').live('click', function(){
      alert($(this));
 });

but it's not working. Is it a bug or i just doing this wrong?

ace adds only dom nodes only for visible text
and whole dom is reconstructed every time user scrolls or types something
so using code from your example would be wasteful

also to changing parts of the dom have pointer-events: none style applied to not break scrolling on safari

here's an example which highlights clicked token

var Range = require("ace/range").Range, markerId
var handler = function(e){
    var editor = e.editor
    console.log(e)
    var pos = editor.getCursorPosition()
    var token = editor.session.getTokenAt(pos.row, pos.column)
    if (/\bkeyword\b/.test(token.type))
        console.log(token.value, 'is a keyword')

    // add highlight for the clicked token
    var range = new Range(pos.row, token.start,
        pos.row, token.start + token.value.length)
    console.log(range)
    editor.session.removeMarker(markerId)
    markerId = editor.session.addMarker(range, 'ace_bracket red')
}
editor.on("click", handler)
