## What it is
A declarative React library for managing keyboard hotkeys and focus areas via JSX components and higher-order components. It supports global and in-focus key maps, Mousetrap-style syntax, runtime rebindable shortcuts, and is optimized for large applications.

## Use cases
- add keyboard shortcuts to a react app
- handle global hotkeys in react
- let users customize keyboard shortcuts at runtime
- manage focus areas with keyboard navigation
- display a list of available hotkeys to users
- define app-wide keybindings declaratively

## When to choose
- you need declarative, component-scoped hotkey handling in React
- your app has many simultaneous hotkeys and needs predictable event handling
- you want users to rebind shortcuts at runtime

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - the project is seeking new maintainers
- you are not using React
- you only need a simple keydown listener without declarative scoping

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, frontend, accessibility
- platform: browser
- tags: react, hotkeys, keyboard-shortcuts, declarative, hoc, nodejs
