Node Telegraf callback button

Question

For what we need to pass data to callback button in in simple keyboard (not inline), if thats doesn’t matter?

Example:

const mainMenuKeyboard = Markup.InlineKeyboard([
  Markup.callbackButton('Add', 'addAction),
  ]).resize().extra();

Now, If I want to catch "addAddress" action, I can just do this:

bot.action('addAction',(ctx) => <WHATEVER>);

Everything works just fine& But, when I want to use simple keyboard (not inline) in my project I cant catch this action using "bot.action("addAction")" I have to use "bot.hears("Add")" :

const mainMenuKeyboard = Markup.keyboard([
  Markup.callbackButton('Add', 'addAction),
  ]).resize().extra();

Don’t work

bot.action('addAction',(ctx) => <WHATEVER>);

Work

bot.hears('Add',(ctx) => <WHATEVER>);

You shouldn't be using Markup.callbackButton (which is InlineKeyboardButton on the Bot API) inside Markup.keyboard(ReplyKeyboardMarkup).

According to Telegram Bot API docs, Markup.keyboard(ReplyKeyboardMarkup) should contain Array of Arrays (not just an array BTW, fix that as well) of KeyboardButton. And Markup.callbackButton(which is Inlinekeyboardbutton on the API) should be used for InlineKeyboard (not reply keyboard).
