# CodeX Shortcuts
CodeX shortcuts is a micro-library for dispatching keyboard shortcuts in Javascript.
You don't need external dependencies.
## Installation
Package is available on NPM
```
npm install @codexteam/shortcuts --save
```
## Usage
Require module if you use Webpack or ES6
```javascript
const Shortcut = require('@codexteam/shortcuts');
```
or
```javascript
import Shortcut from '@codexteam/shortcuts'
```
### Creating a shortcut
library provided as class, so to create a new shortcut, make a `Shortcut` instance with specified options.
Example:
```javascript
let cmdA = new Shortcut({
name : 'CMD+A',
on : document.body,
callback: function(event) {
// your handler
}
});
```
```name``` - this is shortcut name, keys must be separated by `+`
```on``` - binding element. Shortcut will be fired only on passed (this) element
```callback``` - you code that defines the behaviour
If you have a single-page web application and you don't need shortcuts handler
you can easily remove it
```javascript
cmdA.remove();
```
## How it works
Library parses data given on constructor, defines commands and keys.
Supported commands : ```shift```, ```cmd```, ```command```, ```ctrl```,
```control```, ```windows```, ```alt```.
other words we pass as keys and special commands. Special commands are:
```backspace```, ```enter```, ```right```, ```left```, ```up```, ```down```,
```escape```, ```insert```, ```delete```.
