A dependency-free JavaScript micro-library for capturing keyboard input and defining keyboard shortcuts in the browser. It provides a simple API for binding and dispatching hotkey handlers.
Use cases
- add keyboard shortcuts to a web app
- capture keypress combinations in javascript
- bind ctrl+s to save action
- handle hotkeys without dependencies
- define global keyboard shortcuts in browser
When to choose
- you need lightweight, zero-dependency keyboard shortcut handling in the browser
- you want a simple API for binding key combinations
When to avoid
- you need keyboard input capture outside the browser (e.g., OS-level global hotkeys)
- your framework already provides built-in keyboard event handling you prefer
