My goal is to enable users to scroll through a list by pressing the down arrow key, and I have successfully implemented this feature.
In addition, users should be able to load the next list when they reach the end of the current list. This functionality has also been implemented.
However, I want to prevent users from continuously holding down the down key at the top of one list, causing multiple lists to load endlessly at the bottom.
Is there a way for me to trigger a "keyup" event on the client side, indicating that once the user reaches the bottom of a list, they must manually press the down arrow key again?
Update: Here is some relevant code that may provide context:
$(document).keydown(function(e) {
switch(e.which) {
case 40:
var lineID = Number($('.active').data('lineid'));
if(lineID != Number($('body > span').last().data('lineid'))) {
//update lineID to next number and activate next line
}
if(lineID == Number($('body > span').last().data('lineid'))) {
//update location to next list article
}
break;
default: return;
}
e.preventDefault();
});
Currently, I am looking for a solution to prevent users from continuously loading lists by holding down the down key after reaching the bottom. Perhaps simulating a key up event could achieve this, making it easier for users to navigate to the bottom without automatically loading the next list.
