Disabling Arrow Keys for FreeCamera

[JCPalmer]

When a scene is a part of a page with a form, e.g. Voice-Sync Developer, messages to editable text fields to move cursor with arrow left or right are being stolen by BabylonJS.  The mesh moves.  Is there a way to stop this from happening?

Hello,

 

You can maybe detach camera when focus is done on the text field and attach it again to the scene when the focus is lost from text field ?

[GameMonetize]

you can attachControl(canvas, false) this should work

Sorry for the delayed feedback, but setting this to true or false did not do anything to stop this. 

 

Looked at FreeCamera.ts, and this has something to do with preventDefault.  I have been getting a Firefox message for all any scene I load that says:

  "Use of getPreventDefault() is deprecated.  Use defaultPrevented instead.". 

 

Never knew what it was.

[GameMonetize]

we do not use getPreventDefault

 

With false, the preventDefault is not called thus allowing focus to move outside bjs

Well, there is no law that you have to attach the scene to a camera:

scene.activeCamera.attachControl(canvas, false | true);

Adding a true second argument means that both the cursor moves in the text field AND the mesh moves.  I want the mesh to stay where it is.  Answer is not to attach in the first place.  Thought I would point this out, as people might think you have to do this, but it is just optional.
