handleBackButton on desktop (with esc)?

[woj-tek]

What's the best way to simulate usage of handleBackButton on desktop? I would assume esc would work but unfortunately not

My guess is that you'd need to instantiate BackDispatcher right before creating the root ComponentContext and pass the former to the latter. Then hook to the Esc button and call BackDispatcher#back.

Thanks, that did the trick.

Any chances to have it supported natively/by default? :)

[arkivanov]

Maybe! I'll think about it.

It's looks pretty simple to create a dedicated API for it. I've added this to the docs: https://arkivanov.github.io/Decompose/component/back-button/#back-button-handling-in-compose-for-desktop

Awesome, thank you! :)
