Callback on DELETE key

I need to add a callback on when the DELETE key is pressed. I don't need to change the behavior of the key pressing but only to detect it and being able to run a function additionally to the normal process.

Thanks for your time.

Good afternoon, thanks for taking the time to answer me back. I ended up using the following code:

doc_add_callback(current_doc(), 'delete', 'triggerDelete');

...

function triggerDelete(doc, op){
	local tickEvent;
	if($op == 1 && numerotationHelper::insertionInProgress == 0){
		# callback are always called twice
		# https://support.ptc.com/help/arbortext/r8.1.0.0/en/index.html#page/Program/acl_ref/help148-517.html
		numerotationHelper::lastDeletePressed = javascript('d = Date.now();d.toString();');
		local selectedElement = selected_element();
		if(index(selectedElement, "-1")>0){
			numerotationHelper::lastObjectParentDeleted = "";
			numerotationHelper::lastObjectDeleted = "";
		}
		else{
			numerotationHelper::lastObjectParentDeleted = oid_parent($selectedElement);
			numerotationHelper::lastObjectDeleted = oid_name($selectedElement);
		}
	}
}

Once again, thank you !

You can do this using the map command in ACL, something like this:

function myDeleteExtras() {
 # do whatever extra stuff you need here...
 EditDelete; # this executes the normal delete operation
}

map Delete {myDeleteExtras()}
