A small module that handles your hotkeys

npm install @patomation/hotkey

Supports using modifier keys in any order: alt+ctrl+shift+p for example, is the same as p+control+alt+shift:

import { hotkey } from '@patomation/hotkey'

hotkey('control+z', () => {
    //Do some undo action
});

Supports alpha numeric characters and more

hotkey('enter', () => {
    //Do something when user hits enter
});

Add hotkey functions for arrow keys by using uparrow, downarrow, leftarrow and rightarrow

hotkey('downarrow', () => {
    //Down arrow function
});

To have events for key up and key down. This is now supported.

hotkey('f')
.down(() => {
  //Do something when f key is down
})
.up(() => {
  //Do something when f key is up
})

Note: Adding up and down methods supports modifiers in hotkey commands. Additionally this could be written this way:

hotkey('shift+f', () => {
  //Do something when f key is down
}).up(() => {
  //Do something when f key is up
})
