Try KeyboardJS
its as simple as
KeyboardJS.on('a', function(){ alert('hello!'); });
yet as flexible as
var bindInstance = KeyboardJS.on('ctrl + a, ctrl + b, c', function(event, keysPressedArray, keyComboString){
//you get the event object
console.log('event object', event);
//you get the keys pressed array
console.log('keys pressed', keysPressedArray);
//you get the key combo string
console.log('combo pressed', keyComboString);
console.log('I will fire when \'ctrl + a\' or \'ctrl +b\' or \'c\' is pressed down');
//block event bubble
return false;
}, function(event, keysPressedArray, keyComboString) {
console.log('I will fire on key up');
//block event bubble
return false;
});
you can clear a binding by calling
bindInstance.clear();
you can clear all binds with specific keys with
KeyboardJS.clear('a, b');
Its open source and available on Github. Its comes in ether a global library or an AMD module for RequireJS.
Here's an introduction video.
There, now stop worrying about the keyboard and code your app. ;)
