THREE.js WebGLRenderer canvas stop mousedown event

Questions
1

Trying to add event to Threejs canvas the events (onmousedown and onmouseup) seem to be broken only (onmousemove) works

   let Canvas = document.querySelector("canvas");
      window.onmousedown = function () {
        console.log("hi am working");
      }
    }

some people ride that problem by pointer-events:none; it works but it broke all threejs input DragControls.js & OrbitControls.js will not work

Try
window.addEventListener(‘mousedown’, function() { console.log(‘eatingCherryPieIsNice’)
})

there’s a bug in threejs controls where they call preventdefault and worse, stoppropagation for no reason. the latter stops other events as a race condition, so it could be that. three 127 will fix it Controls: Remove calls of stopPropagation(). by Mugen87 · Pull Request #21348 · mrdoob/three.js · GitHub

you could also try three-stdlib which fixes such things perhaps a little quicker GitHub - pmndrs/three-stdlib: Stand-alone library of threejs examples designed to run without transpilation in node & browser
