# ViewDocumentInsertTextEvent

typedef

Event fired when the user types text, for instance presses `A` or `?` in the editing view document.

**Note**: This event will **not** fire for keystrokes such as `Delete` or `Enter`. They have dedicated events, see [event-delete](module_engine_view_document-ViewDocument.md#event-delete) and [event-enter](module_engine_view_document-ViewDocument.md#event-enter) to learn more.

**Note**: This event is fired by the [input feature](module_typing_inserttextobserver-InsertTextObserver.md).
