It should not interfere with any JavaScript libraries or frameworks. Official document [demo preview](https://jaywcjlove.github.io/hotkeys-js).

Detailed use method please see its documentation [react-hotkeys](https://github.com/jaywcjlove/react-hotkeys). [react-hotkeys-hook](https://github.com/JohannesKlauss/react-hotkeys-hook) - React hook for using keyboard shortcuts in components. Make sure that you have at least version 16.8 of react and react-dom installed, or otherwise hooks won't work for you. ## Browser Support Hotkeys.js has been tested and should work in. ```shell Internet Explorer 6+ Safari Firefox Chrome ``` ## Supported Keys HotKeys understands the following modifiers: `⇧`, `shift`, `option`, `⌥`, `alt`, `ctrl`, `control`, `command`, and `⌘`. The following special keys can be used for shortcuts: backspace, tab, clear, enter, return, esc, escape, space, up, down, left, right, home, end, pageup, pagedown, del, delete, f1 through f19, num_0 through num_9, num_multiply, num_add, num_enter, num_subtract, num_decimal, num_divide. `⌘` Command() `⌃` Control `⌥` Option(alt) `⇧` Shift `⇪` Caps Lock(Capital) ~~`fn` Does not support fn~~ `↩︎` return/Enter space ## Defining Shortcuts One global method is exposed, key which defines shortcuts when called directly. ```js hotkeys([keys:], [option:[string|object|function]], [callback:]) ``` ```js hotkeys('f5', function(event, handler) { // Prevent the default refresh event under WINDOWS system event.preventDefault(); alert('you pressed F5!'); }); // Returning false stops the event and prevents default browser events // Mac OS system defines `command + r` as a refresh shortcut hotkeys('ctrl+r, command+r', function() { alert('stopped reload!'); return false; }); // Single key hotkeys('a', function(event,handler){ //event.srcElement: input //event.target: input if(event.target === "input"){ alert('you pressed a!') } alert('you pressed a!') }); // Key Combination hotkeys('ctrl+a,ctrl+b,r,f', function (event, handler){ switch (handler.key) { case 'ctrl+a': alert('you pressed ctrl+a!'); break; case 'ctrl+b': alert('you pressed ctrl+b!'); break; case 'r': alert('you pressed r!'); break; case 'f': alert('you pressed f!'); break; default: alert(event); } }); hotkeys('ctrl+a+s', function() { alert('you pressed ctrl+a+s!'); }); // Using a scope hotkeys('*','wcj', function(event){ console.log('do something', event); }); ``` #### option - `scope` - `element` - `keyup` - `keydown` - `splitKey` (default is `+`) - `capture` - `single` ```js hotkeys('o, enter', { scope: 'wcj', element: document.getElementById('wrapper'), }, function() { console.log('do something else'); }); hotkeys('ctrl-+', { splitKey: '-' }, function(e) { console.log('you pressed ctrl and +'); }); hotkeys('+', { splitKey: '-' }, function(e){ console.log('you pressed +'); }) ``` **keyup** **key down** and **key up** both perform callback events. ```js hotkeys('ctrl+a,alt+a+s', {keyup: true}, function(event, handler) { if (event.type === 'keydown') { console.log('keydown:', event.type, handler, handler.key); } if (event.type === 'keyup') { console.log('keyup:', event.type, handler, handler.key); } }); ``` ## API REFERENCE Asterisk "*" Modifier key judgments ```js hotkeys('*', function() { if (hotkeys.shift) { console.log('shift is pressed!'); } if (hotkeys.ctrl) { console.log('ctrl is pressed!'); } if (hotkeys.alt) { console.log('alt is pressed!'); } if (hotkeys.option) { console.log('option is pressed!'); } if (hotkeys.control) { console.log('control is pressed!'); } if (hotkeys.cmd) { console.log('cmd is pressed!'); } if (hotkeys.command) { console.log('command is pressed!'); } }); ``` ### setScope Use the `hotkeys.setScope` method to set scope. There can only be one active scope besides 'all'. By default 'all' is always active. ```js // Define shortcuts with a scope hotkeys('ctrl+o, ctrl+alt+enter', 'issues', function() { console.log('do something'); }); hotkeys('o, enter', 'files', function() { console.log('do something else'); }); // Set the scope (only 'all' and 'issues' shortcuts will be honored) hotkeys.setScope('issues'); // default scope is 'all' ``` ### getScope Use the `hotkeys.getScope` method to get scope. ```js hotkeys.getScope(); ``` ### deleteScope Use the `hotkeys.deleteScope` method to delete a scope. This will also remove all associated hotkeys with it. ```js hotkeys.deleteScope('issues'); ``` You can use second argument, if need set new scope after deleting. ```js hotkeys.deleteScope('issues', 'newScopeName'); ``` ### unbind Similar to defining shortcuts, they can be unbound using `hotkeys.unbind`. ```js // unbind 'a' handler hotkeys.unbind('a'); // Unbind a hotkeys only for a single scope // If no scope is specified it defaults to the current scope (hotkeys.getScope()) hotkeys.unbind('o, enter', 'issues'); hotkeys.unbind('o, enter', 'files'); ``` Unbind events through functions. ```js function example() { hotkeys('a', example); hotkeys.unbind('a', example); hotkeys('a', 'issues', example); hotkeys.unbind('a', 'issues', example); } ``` To unbind everything. ```js hotkeys.unbind(); ``` ### isPressed For example, `hotkeys.isPressed(77)` is true if the `M` key is currently pressed. ```js hotkeys('a', function() { console.log(hotkeys.isPressed('a')); //=> true console.log(hotkeys.isPressed('A')); //=> true console.log(hotkeys.isPressed(65)); //=> true }); ``` ### trigger trigger shortcut key event ```js hotkeys.trigger('ctrl+o'); hotkeys.trigger('ctrl+o', 'scope2'); ``` ### getPressedKeyCodes Returns an array of key codes currently pressed. ```js hotkeys('command+ctrl+shift+a,f', function() { console.log(hotkeys.getPressedKeyCodes()); //=> [17, 65] or [70] }) ``` ### getPressedKeyString Returns an array of key codes currently pressed. ```js hotkeys('command+ctrl+shift+a,f', function() { console.log(hotkeys.getPressedKeyString()); //=> ['⌘', '⌃', '⇧', 'A', 'F'] }) ``` ### getAllKeyCodes Get a list of all registration codes. ```js hotkeys('command+ctrl+shift+a,f', function() { console.log(hotkeys.getAllKeyCodes()); // [ // { scope: 'all', shortcut: 'command+ctrl+shift+a', mods: [91, 17, 16], keys: [91, 17, 16, 65] }, // { scope: 'all', shortcut: 'f', mods: [], keys: [42] } // ] }) ``` ### filter By default hotkeys are not enabled for `INPUT` `SELECT` `TEXTAREA` elements. `Hotkeys.filter` to return to the `true` shortcut keys set to play a role, `false` shortcut keys set up failure. ```js hotkeys.filter = function(event){ return true; } //How to add the filter to edit labels.

//"contentEditable" Older browsers that do not support drops hotkeys.filter = function(event) { var target = event.target || event.srcElement; var tagName = target.tagName; return !(target.isContentEditable || tagName == 'INPUT' || tagName == 'SELECT' || tagName == 'TEXTAREA'); } hotkeys.filter = function(event){ var tagName = (event.target || event.srcElement).tagName; hotkeys.setScope(/^(INPUT|TEXTAREA|SELECT)$/.test(tagName) ? 'input' : 'other'); return true; } ``` ### noConflict Relinquish HotKeys’s control of the `hotkeys` variable. ```js var k = hotkeys.noConflict(); k('a', function() { console.log("do something") }); hotkeys() // -->Uncaught TypeError: hotkeys is not a function(anonymous function) // @ VM2170:2InjectedScript._evaluateOn // @ VM2165:883InjectedScript._evaluateAndWrap // @ VM2165:816InjectedScript.evaluate @ VM2165:682 ``` ## Development To develop, Install dependencies, Get the code: ```shell $ git https://github.com/jaywcjlove/hotkeys.git $ cd hotkeys # Into the directory $ npm install # or yarn install ``` To develop, run the self-reloading build: ```shell $ npm run watch ``` Run Document Website Environment. ```shell $ npm run doc ``` To contribute, please fork Hotkeys.js, add your patch and tests for it (in the `test/` folder) and submit a pull request. ```shell $ npm run test $ npm run test:watch # Development model ``` ## Contributors As always, thanks to our amazing contributors!
