A configuration-centric keyboard shortcut library for AngularJS (1.2+) apps, built on Mousetrap. It lets developers define hotkeys in JavaScript controllers or route configs, automatically binds/unbinds them on navigation, and generates a route-aware cheat sheet when users press '?'.

Use cases

• add keyboard shortcuts to an angularjs app without littering templates with DOM attributes
• bind hotkeys per route and unbind them automatically on navigation
• show users an automatic cheat sheet of active shortcuts
• pass arguments to functions triggered by key combinations
• manage dozens of shortcuts centrally instead of across many templates

When to choose

• you maintain a legacy AngularJS 1.x app and want clean, centralized keyboard shortcut management
• your app's controller methods are keyboard-driven with no 1-to-1 DOM relationship
• you want an automatic, route-aware help cheat sheet for shortcuts

When to avoid

• you use modern Angular (2+) or another framework - this only supports AngularJS 1.2+
• you prefer declarative DOM-attribute-based shortcut binding
• you need a maintained library - the last release was in 2020 and AngularJS itself is end-of-life
