# ember-keyboard

An Ember addon for painlessly supporting keyboard events

## Features

* Ember Octane-friendly template declarations for keyboard shortcuts
* Support for `keyup` and `keydown`, as well as the modifier keys: `ctrl`, `alt`, `shift`, and `meta`.
* Dynamic priority levels allow you to specify which components respond first to key events and under what circumstances. (Thanks to [`ember-key-responder`](https://github.com/yapplabs/ember-key-responder) for the inspiration)
* Human-readable key-mappings. (Thanks to [`ember-keyboard-service`](https://github.com/Fabriquartz/ember-keyboard-service) for the inspiration)

## Documentation & Demo

You can find interactive documentation [here](http://adopted-ember-addons.github.io/ember-keyboard/).

## Compatibility

* Ember 6.x or higher (ember-keyboard 9.x)
* Ember 4+ compatibility requires ember-keyboard 7.x or higher
* For Ember 3.8 to 3.28, you can use ember-keyboard 6.x (not compatible with Internet Explorer)
* For use with Ember 2.0 up to 3.8 or IE compatibility, use ember-keyboard 5.x.
* Node.js v18 or above
* This is a [v2 addon](https://emberjs.github.io/rfcs/0507-embroider-v2-package-format.html)

## Accessibility Considerations
