keyboard-interactions
Wrapper around keyboard inputs

Project Overview

This library contains a simple wrapper for different input methods. By introducing an 'action' to bind multiple input combos plus their handlers with it a better customisation by the user may be achieved.

For example:

function hello()
{    console.log("hello world") }

//bind the action to ctrl+space as default trigger
Hotkeys("hello-action", "ctrl+space", hello)

For the time being this is not meant to be a stand alone library But rather as a backend for a compatible GUI. For the reference implementation dowload npm "@nk/core-components" and check out the "nk-hotkey-dialog" example

Features

Better Usability by customizing Keyboard Inputs

credits, references, acknowledgements

Mousetrap.js - ccampbell/mousetrap
Keypress.js - dmauro/Keypress

technical goals

function as a no-gui backend for UI components that implement a keymap dialog

possible extensions

interface for other HID
- gyro+ accelerometer - https://github.com/dorukeker/gyronorm.js/
- mouse and touch - http://hammerjs.github.io/recognizer-pinch/
though the library is primarily targeted to solve they keymap via actions, we should expose the same functionality without the actions
- (this is useful where no configuration will be necessary ike with the gyro maybe)
