i'm currently developing a web application and i encounter a problem.
As you might know or not, chrome has a feature that gives <input>
(especially text inputs) an "undo" function when you hit CTRL+Z and "redo" with CTRL+Y it may seem like a good feature in normal websites, but currently i'm making an image editor that also uses those keyboard shortcuts (CTRL+Z & CTRL+Y).
in my app i also have a text input, so when i change the text input's content and then hit CTRL+Z to undo the changes in my image editor, it would undo the change in the text editor instead!
here is a Codepen that would demonstrate the effect
(instruction is in the Codepen)
So in conclusion i want to remove the undo/redo function in chrome how can i do that?
Does this work?

You could use onkeydown event, and preventDefault.. eg.
