Watch the video

This is a javascript library for frontend development (both vallina and frameworks) that helps with keyboard binding / combinations .

This currently supports most keys in windows OS you can visit the Home page to check the key code for your machine

Requirement

  • Your script need to be running on a web server, for development you could use,
    • live server extension is vscode
    • node npx server by running npx serve
    • to avoid errors like KeyBinder Cors error

How to use

Install and Import

Using Vallina javascript

<scriptsrc="https://codad5.github.io/keybinder/lib/keybinder.js"></script>

Using a framework

  • Install
npm i domkeybinder
  • Import
importKeyBinderfrom'domkeybinder'

Initialize your controller object

  • Define your keyboard Controller
constkeyController=newKeyBinder({default_listener: 'keyup',// can be keydown, keypresselement: window,// can be any element or window eg `docmuent.querySelector('.myeditor')// case_sensitive:true, // this is if you want to make the listener case sensitiveallow_default: true// this is set to default of false and prevents any default keyboard action})
  • Add your listener

For easier and better coding experience it best to create a sub function like this

constListenToKey=(key, ...data)=>keyController.ListenToKey(key, ...data)

Then you can add listeners like this

ListenToKey('B+G',()=>{//your code...})ListenToKey('shift+c',()=>{//your code...})

OR this

keyController.ListenToKey('enter',(data)=>{//your code...})keyController.ListenToKey('ctrl+space',()=>{//your code...})

Diffrent Combination one action

This is if you want to one action(callback), tied to different combination

ListenToKey('ctrl+space','ctrl+m',()=>{alert(`your called ${data.combination}`)document.querySelector('#scdiv').innerHTML+='Do you mean Ctrl+c? try Ctrl+c'})
