CKEditor RichCombo

Question

Does anybody know how to disable the default CKEditor behavior that changes the RichCombo label on click? I want the label to remain untouched regardless of the user selection.

Answer 1

In the richcombo plugin you can alter it at the setValue function (line 292) deleting all the code after the first line

this._.value = value;

After you verify that this is what you want you can try to put it in a plugin if you don't like to alter the source files. (I didn't try this)

Answer 2

A less hackish way to do it is to set the value to empty when the user moves away from the current selection.

  editor.on('selectionChange', function(evt) {
  if (mydropdown && mydropdown.getValue())
    mydropdown.setValue('');
  }

If you need to always show it empty run setTimeout(function(){editor.selectionChange();}, 0) in your click function.
