keys
These are the available keys: vkeys.jskey(keys, options, fn)
the callback functionfn
will only be invoked only if
the given keys
sequence is matched.if you want to capture any key in your sequence, you can use the wildard char '' within the
keys
string.if
ms
is 50ms
the keys must be pressed within 50ms
for
the callback to be called.The following options
options
are optional with the default values:
{
ms: 1000, // 1000 milliseconds
el: window, // DOM Element the shortcut is added to.
stopPropagation: false, // no bubbling up the DOM Tree
preventDefault: false, // no default event for the given `keys`.
};
key.press(key, el)

for the given key.example:
key.press('meta');

var key = key.getKey(60);
assert.equal(key, '<');
key.findCode(key)
returns the firstcode
that matches the key
.
var code = key.findCode('space');
assert.equal(code, 32);
key.findAllCodes(key)
returns an Array ofcode
's that match the key
