Bind Keyboard Shortcuts With Pure JavaScript – keycuts

Preview:

Description:

keycuts is an ES6 JavaScript library which allows you to bind custom keyboard shortcut events and trigger custom specified functions when the key combinations are pressed

How to use it:

Download & Install the keycuts package with package managers.

# Yarn
$ yarn add keycuts
# NPM
$ npm install keycuts --save

Import the keycuts as an ES6 module.

import { Keys } from 'keycuts'

Or include the compiled version of the keycuts library on the page.

<script src="keycuts.min.js"></script>

Create a new keyboard shortcut object.

const myKeys = new Keys();

Define your own keyboard shortcuts & callback functions as these:

keys.bind(['Control', 'c'], () => {
  // do something
})
// or 
keys.bind(['Control + c'], () => {
  // do something
})

The library also supports sequences of key or key combinations.

myKeys.bind([['Control', 'c'], ['Alt', 'v']], () => {
  // do something
})
// or
myKeys.bind('Control + c > Control + v', () => {
  // do something
})
