Keymaster is a tiny, dependency-free JavaScript micro-library for defining and dispatching keyboard shortcuts in web applications. It supports modifier keys, special keys, shortcut scopes, and querying current key-press state.

Use cases

  • add keyboard shortcuts to a web app
  • bind ctrl+r or cmd+r style hotkeys in JavaScript
  • reuse the same shortcut in different scopes of a single page app
  • detect which keys are currently pressed for a browser game loop
  • implement shift+click style modifier-key interactions

When to choose

  • you need a lightweight, dependency-free hotkey library for the browser
  • you want scoped shortcuts in a single page application
  • you need to query real-time key state for games or interactions

When to avoid

  • you need shortcuts in a non-browser environment like Node.js
  • you want an actively developed library with modern ESM support
  • you need rich features like key sequences or per-element binding
