Overriding hotKeys in keyboard module?

What is the recommended way for overriding predefined hotkeys? Tab for example…it appears the callback passed to addHotkey gets executed in tandem with any that have already been defined.

My particular use case being tab-completion, ie if a suggested item is available, tab should select that item, otherwise proceed with the predefined behavior.

Maybe callbacks defined with addHotkey get executed first and if any return false then the chain stops? Something like that?

@unhammer For what it’s worth, your trick works quite well to override a default binding without actually removing the default behaviour completely. My use case was exactly the same as yours, I wanted to integrate a textcomplete dropdown.

var doAutocomplete = function () {
    return !textcompleteDropdownIsOpen();
};
[9, 13].forEach(function (keyCode) {
    quill.keyboard.addBinding({
        key: keyCode,
    }, doAutocomplete);
    quill.keyboard.bindings[keyCode].unshift(quill.keyboard.bindings[keyCode].pop());
});

So as of late 2018, this still works 😄
