Hotkeys

Buy me a coffee no dependencies GitHub Actions CI Coverage Status jaywcjlove/hotkeys-js jaywcjlove/hotkeys-js

HotKeys.js is an input capture library with some very special features, it is easy to pick up and use, has a reasonable footprint (~6kB) (gzipped: 2.8kB), and has no dependencies. It should not interfere with any JavaScript libraries or frameworks. Official document demo preview. More examples.

Usage

You will need Node.js installed on your system.

npm install hotkeys-js --save
import hotkeys from 'hotkeys-js';

hotkeys('f5', function(event, handler){
  // Prevent the default refresh event under WINDOWS system
  event.preventDefault()
  alert('you pressed F5!')
});

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

CDN: UNPKG | jsDelivr | Githack | Statically | bundle.run

<script src="https://unpkg.com/hotkeys-js/dist/hotkeys.min.js"></script>
<script type="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;
    default: alert(event);
  }
});
</script>

Used in React

react-hotkeys is the React component that listen to keydown and keyup keyboard events, defining and dispatching keyboard shortcuts. Detailed use method please see its documentation react-hotkeys.

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.

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.

hotkeys([keys:<String>], [option:[string|object|function]], [callback:<function>])
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<String>
  • element<HTMLElement>
  • keyup<Boolean>
  • keydown<Boolean>
  • splitKey<string> (default is +)
  • capture<Boolean>
  • single<Boolean>
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.

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

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.

// 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.

hotkeys.getScope();

deleteScope

Use the hotkeys.deleteScope method to delete a scope. This will also remove all associated hotkeys with it.

hotkeys.deleteScope('issues');

You can use second argument, if need set new scope after deleting.

hotkeys.deleteScope('issues', 'newScopeName');

unbind

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

// 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.

function example() {
  hotkeys('a', example);
  hotkeys.unbind('a', example);

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

To unbind everything.

hotkeys.unbind();

isPressed

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

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

hotkeys.trigger('ctrl+o');
hotkeys.trigger('ctrl+o', 'scope2');

getPressedKeyCodes

Returns an array of key codes currently pressed.

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

getPressedKeyString

Returns an array of key codes currently pressed.

hotkeys('command+ctrl+shift+a,f', function() {
  console.log(hotkeys.getPressedKeyString()); //=> ['⌘', '⌃', '⇧', 'A', 'F']
})

getAllKeyCodes

Get a list of all registration codes.

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.

hotkeys.filter = function(event){
  return true;
}
//How to add the filter to edit labels. <div contentEditable="true"></div>
//"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.

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
