# Long Press

Long Press is a jQuery plugin to ease the writing of accented or rare characters.

# Installation

You can install using bower as well as npm

- Install using bower

  ` bower install long-press `

- Install using npm

  `npm install long-press`

## Demo & Usage

A demo can be seen here: http://toki-woki.net/lab/long-press/

Focus a form field and hold key to access alternate characters.

Try ‘a’, ‘e’, ‘u’, ‘i’, ‘o’ or ‘$’ for example.

Pick letter by:

- using mouse wheel;

- hovering over it with your mouse;

- using arrow keys.

Release key to confirm choice.

## Context

I wrote this plugin because I wanted to be able to insert rare characters as easily as on Android or iOS.

I learned pretty quickly after doing it that Moutain Lion already offers such a feature. This is called reinventing the wheel...

## Files

The most insteresting file in the repository is `js/jquery.longpress.js`. Other stuff is mainly for demonstration purposes.

## Status

The plugin is still very young and could be improved/optimized and stuff.

## Customization

Characters suggestions can easily be edited in `js/jquery.longpress.js`.
