How we can avoid calling the esc action button. This issue is only happening in IE. Any suggestion would be appriciated

do you want manage all key press except ESC key? or simply do you want manage enter key and some others? — FarukT, Feb 01 '18 at 21:08

This is the solution for you, when any key pressed that will call your function but before calling it will control keycode, ESC keycode is 27 and it will except ESC key.

<a ng-click="MyAction()" ng-keypress="$event.keyCode != 27 && My Action()" translate="Hellow_world">Hellow World</a>
