That is the default key binding for the up arrow. For more information and how to modify see:

[KES777]

yeah, to my mind that is not the case for multi line editor. because arrowup at that editor means something different.

For example, If I tries to list over lookup editor I press arrow up - cursor is moved to next item in the select list and not to different table row

[aklaver]

Alright. In edit.js 'select' the up arrow key is caught and:

case 38: //up arrow
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();

This is repeated for the other arrow keys
There is no such code in 'textarea'.

@olifolkerd will need to explain if there is a purpose for this or not?

Hey @KES777

You are correct, that should certainly navigate the text area better.

As it happens i have already written that functionality for another project i was working on so i can pull it back into the formatter for the 4.5 release

Hey

I have just pushed an update to the 4.5 branch that adds a new verticalNavigation editorParam to a lot of editors to make it easier to customise the navigation experience.

This should be released in the next few weeks.

Cheers
