Block Backspace Key while Script is open

Question

Hi, i need a little Help &#x1f605 i have a UI window with edittext fields, but whe i press backspace, it deletes my layers and not the text in my edittext field.thats why i want to block Backspace and Delete key.The Delete Key Works fine but the Backspace key will only block if you have no Layers?! do you have any idea for me? &#128591;  window.addEventListener("keydown", function(event) {if (event.keyName === "Backspace") {event.preventDefault();alert("Backspace key pressed");}});
window.addEventListener("keydown", function(event) {if (event.keyName === "Delete") {event.preventDefault();}});

Hej,i think its because my window is defined as a Palette.a Dialog Window blocks all interactions to Photoshop as it should, but you loose the flexibility of a palette. i fixed it with a dialog window popup if textfiled is active and it works fine for me &#128578;function openInputDialog(edittext) {    var inputDialog = new Window("dialog", "Eingabewert " /* + edittext.text*/);    var inputText = inputDialog.add("edittext", undefined, edittext.text);    inputText.characters = 20;    inputText.active = true;    inputText.selection = [0, inputText.text.length];    inputDialog.add("button", undefined, "OK", {name: "ok"});    if (inputDialog.show() == 1) {        edittext.text = inputText.text;    }}edittext1.onActivate = function() {openInputDialog(edittext1);};edittext2.onActivate = function() {openInputDialog(edittext2);};edittext3.onActivate = function() {openInputDialog(edittext3);};edittext4.onActivate = function() {openInputDialog(edittext4);};edittext5.onActivate = function() {openInputDialog(edittext5);};edittext6.onActivate = function() {openInputDialog(edittext6);};edittext7.onActivate = function() {openInputDialog(edittext7);};edittext8.onActivate = function() {openInputDialog(edittext8);};

Thank you for your answer!I will post the code tomorrow.it must only block backspace when im in the edittext field. Evertyime i want to change my values an delete the old values it deletes my layers and not the text values from the edittext?! This is the only case wich should block backspace. I dont understand that the delete key if working fine when im in the edittext field.
