## What it is
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
