Set/Get out of order for keydown event

[individual11]

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but some events fire before set is fired and some fire after.

var ist = $$({}, '<div><input type="text" data-bind="newContent" /><ul></ul></div>', {
          'keydown input': function(e){
            if (e.keyCode != 13) return; //if any key other than enter hit

                        //will return undefined
              console.log( this.model.get('newContent') );
          },
          'change':function(e){
                        //will return the value of the input
            console.log( this.model.get('newContent') );
          }
        });

And the problem with using change as the event is that it fires when the input loses focus if the value is different.

I'm not sure if DOM events should be fired after model events. Perhaps
in most uses people want to capture the event prior to any other
Agility event.

Have you tried the input type search? It updates the model upon
every keystroke, so you can just monitor the event change.

I will give that a try. I guess I could also force the model to change manually in the event. Now I'm thinking a bit more about the logic, I see why change is firing after keydown .

Thanks much, you can close the issue if you want since you're right, I just wasn't thinking about it logically.

No problem, good luck!
