# Shortcuts
Super performant and feature rich shortcuts management library.
This library is just a thin wrapper over [`ShoSho`](https://github.com/fabiospampinato/shosho) that provides a VSCode-like interface for managing shortcuts. Definitely check out [`ShoSho`](https://github.com/fabiospampinato/shosho), which provides more features and it may offer a lower-level but maybe more convenient API for your use case.
## Install
```sh
npm install --save shortcuts
```
## Usage
The following interface is provided:
```ts
type Descriptor = {
handler?: ( event?: Event ): boolean | void,
shortcut: string
};
type Disposer = {
(): void
};
type Options = {
capture?: boolean,
target?: Window | Document | HTMLElement | SVGElement | MathMLElement,
shouldHandleEvent?: ( event: Event ) => boolean
};
class Shortcuts {
constructor ( options: Options );
get (): Descriptor[];
add ( descriptor: Descriptor | Descriptor[] ): void;
register ( descriptor: Descriptor | Descriptor[] ): Disposer;
remove ( descriptor: Descriptor | Descriptor[] ): void;
reset (): void;
trigger ( shortcut: string ): boolean;
start (): void;
stop (): void;
}
```
This is how you'd use the library:
```ts
import Shortcuts from 'shortcuts';
// Let's create a new shortcuts manager instance
const shortcuts = new Shortcuts ({
capture: true, // Handle events during the capturing phase
target: document, // Listening for events on the document object
shouldHandleEvent ( event ) {
return true; // Handle all possible events
}
});
// Let's register and unregister some shortcuts
// Handlers are filtered by shortcut and executed from bottom to top, stopping at the first handler that returns true
const onCtrlB = () => {};
shortcuts.add ([
{
shortcut: 'Ctrl+A',
handler: () => {
// Doing something...
return true; // Returning true if we don't want other handlers for the same shortcut to be called later
}
},
{
shortcut: 'Ctrl+B',
handler: onCtrlB
},
{
shortcut: 'CmdOrCtrl+K Shift+B',
handler: () => {
// Doing something...
return true; // Returning true if we don't want other handlers for the same shortcut to be called later
}
},
{
shortcut: '-Ctrl+A' // Removing all previously-registered handlers for "Ctrl+A"
}
]);
shortcuts.remove ({ shortcut: 'Ctrl+B', handler: onCtrlB }); // Removing a specific handler bound to this shortcut
shortcuts.remove ({ shortcut: 'Ctrl+A' }); // Removing all handlers bound to this shortcut
// Let's actually start listening for shortcuts
shortcuts.start ();
// Let's stop listening for shortcuts
shortcuts.stop ();
// Let's dispose of all registered shortcuts
shortcuts.reset ();
```
## Thanks
- Thanks to the people at [Koding](https://github.com/koding) for providing me the `shortcuts` package name on NPM! If you're looking for the previous package published under that name you can find it [here](https://github.com/koding/shortcuts) (`v0.x`).
