Binding arrow keys in JS/jQuery

Question

Answer 1

A robust Javascript library for capturing keyboard input and key combinations entered. It has no dependencies.

hotkeys('right,left,up,down', function(e, handler){
    switch(handler.key){
        case "right":console.log('right');break
        case "left":console.log('left');break
        case "up":console.log('up');break
        case "down":console.log('down');break
    }
});
