<Hotkey binding={'Escape'} onAction={}/>
<Hotkey binding={'Enter'} onAction={}/>

// ⌘ + a on macOS, Ctrl + a on Windows and Linux
<Hotkey binding={'$mod+a'} onAction={}/>

// sequence hotkey support by empty space
<Hotkey binding={'g i'} onAction={}/>

// combination of keys, make sure no spaces between keys
<Hotkey binding={'Control+a'} onAction={}/>

// $mod is a special key for ⌘ on macOS and Ctrl on Windows and Linux
<Hotkey binding={'$mod+a'} onAction={}/>


// Prevent default browser action opening new tab
<Hotkey binding={'$mod+T'} onAction={event => {
  event.preventDefault();
}}/>


// Enable hotkey when input/textarea element is focused
<Hotkey
  binding={'a'}
  onAction={}
  options={{
    disableOnInputs: false,
    event: 'keyup' // default is keydown
  }}
/>

useHotkeys

import {useHotkeys} from '@shelf/hotkeys';

function Demo() {
  useHotkeys(
    {
      '$mod+a': () => {},
      'g i': () => {},
      // Do some amazing stuff 🚀
    },
    {
      disableOnInputs: false,
