Returns true if the keyboard event did not originate from an <input> or <textarea> element. Useful for implementing global keyboard shortcuts that should not fire when the user is typing in a form field.

function isNotInputEvent(event: KeyboardEvent): boolean

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
event	KeyboardEvent	✓	The keyboard event to inspect

Returns boolean — true if the event target is NOT an <input> or <textarea>.

Example

global-shortcut.ts

import { isNotInputEvent } from '@sinequa/atomic';

document.addEventListener('keydown', (event) => {
  if (isNotInputEvent(event)) {
    // Safe to handle as a global shortcut
    if (event.key === '/') {
      openSearchBar();
    }
  }
});
