Hotkeys

Build StatusCoverage Statusjaywcjlove/sb

HotKeys.js is an input capture library with some very special features, it is easy to pick up and use, has a reasonable footprint (~3kb) (gzipped: 1.73kb), and has no dependencies. It should not interfere with any JavaScript libraries or frameworks. Official document demo preview.

Usage

You will need Node.js installed on your system.

$ npm install hotkeys-js --save
importhotkeysfrom'hotkeys-js';hotkeys('f5',function(event,handler){// Prevent the default refresh event under WINDOWS systemevent.preventDefault()alert('you pressed F5!')});

Or manually download and link hotkeys.js in your HTML, It can also be downloaded via UNPKG:

<scriptsrc="https://unpkg.com/hotkeys-js/dist/hotkeys.min.js"></script><scripttype="text/javascript">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;}});</script>

Used in React

react-hotkeys is the React component that listen to keydown and keyup keyboard events, defining and dispatching keyboard shortcuts.

$ npm install react-hot-keys --save

Detailed use method please see its documentation react-hotkeys.

importReact,{Component}from'react';importHotkeysfrom'react-hot-keys';exportdefaultclassHotkeysDemoextendsComponent{constructor(props){super(props);this.state={output: 'Hello, I am a component that listens to keydown and keyup of a',}}onKeyUp(keyNm,e,handle){this.setState({output: keyNm})}onKeyDown(keyName,e,handle){this.setState({output: keyNm})}render(){return(<HotkeyskeyName="shift+a,alt+s"onKeyDown={this.onKeyDown.bind(this)}onKeyUp={this.onKeyUp.bind(this)}><divstyle={{padding: 50}}>{this.state.output}</div></Hotkeys>)}}

Browser Support

Hotkeys.js has been tested and should work in.

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 and f1 through f19.

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.

hotkeys([keys:<String>], [option:[string|object|function]], [callback:<function>])
hotkeys('f5',function(event,handler){// Prevent the default refresh event under WINDOWS systemevent.preventDefault();alert('you pressed F5!');});// Returning false stops the event and prevents default browser events// Mac OS system defines `command + r` as a refresh shortcuthotkeys('ctrl+r, command+r',function(){alert('stopped reload!');returnfalse;});hotkeys('a',function(event,handler){//event.srcElement: input //event.target: inputif(event.target==="input"){alert('you pressed a!')}alert('you pressed a!')});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;}});hotkeys('*','wcj',function(e){console.log('do something',e);});

option

  • scope<String>
  • element<HTMLElement>
hotkeys('o, enter',{scope: 'wcj',element: document.getElementById('warpper'),},function(){console.log('do something else');});

API REFERENCE

Asterisk "*"

Modifier key judgments

hotkeys('*',function(e){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.

// define shortcuts with a scopehotkeys('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.

hotkeys.getScope();

deleteScope

Use the hotkeys.deleteScope method to delete set scope.

hotkeys.deleteScope('issues');

unbind

Similar to defining shortcuts, they can be unbound using hotkeys.unbind.

// unbind 'a' handlerhotkeys.unbind('a');// unbind a hotkeys only for a single scope// when 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.

functionexample(){}hotkeys('a',example);hotkeys.unbind('a',example);hotkeys('a','issues',example);hotkeys.unbind('a','issues',example);

isPressed

Other key queries. For example, hotkeys.isPressed(77) is true if the M key is currently pressed.

hotkeys('a',function(){console.log(hotkeys.isPressed("a"));//=> trueconsole.log(hotkeys.isPressed("A"));//=> trueconsole.log(hotkeys.isPressed(65));//=> true});

getPressedKeyCodes

returns an array of key codes currently pressed.

hotkeys('command+ctrl+shift+a,f',function(){console.log(hotkeys.getPressedKeyCodes());//=> [17, 65] or [70]})

filter

INPUTSELECTTEXTAREA default does not handle. Hotkeys.filter to return to the true shortcut keys set to play a role, flase shortcut keys set up failure.

hotkeys.filter=function(event){returntrue;}//How to add the filter to edit labels. <div contentEditable="true"></div>//"contentEditable" Older browsers that do not support dropshotkeys.filter=function(event){vartagName=(event.target||event.srcElement).tagName;return!(tagName.isContentEditable||tagName=='INPUT'||tagName=='SELECT'||tagName=='TEXTAREA');}hotkeys.filter=function(event){vartagName=(event.target||event.srcElement).tagName;hotkeys.setScope(/^(INPUT|TEXTAREA|SELECT)$/.test(tagName) ? 'input' : 'other');returntrue;}

noConflict

Relinquish HotKeys’s control of the hotkeys variable.

vark=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
