Description

This jQuery plugin makes easy to use keyboard shortcut in a web page.

Options

The plugin accepts 3 options :

• "bindings" (mandatory) : an object with commands as keys and functions or objects as values :

  { "alt+a": function() { ... }, "alt+b": { action: function() { ... }, auth: function() { return true } } }

• "except_in" (optional) : an string with the selectors of the tags for which the shortcut are not active.

• "ctrlSameCmd" (optional) : unused right now

How to use

$('#container').keyboardShortcut({
  bindings: {
    "a": function() {
      alert("a pressed !");
    },
    "cmd+a": function() {
      alert("cmd + a pressed");
    },
    "ctrl+a": function() {
      alert("ctrl + a pressed");
    },
    "ctrl+alt+a": function() {
      alert("ctrl + alt + a pressed");
    }
  },
  except_in: "input"
});

In this example, we bind 4 shortcuts (on "a", "cmd+a" (in for Mac Os x), "ctrl+a", "ctrl+alt+a") but these one are not active in input fields.
