#MousetrapJS #handlingkeyboardshortcuts
When building complex applications it is necessary to provide the user with keyboard shortcuts, with the mousetrap module you can manage the keyboard shortcuts easily
Some of the benefits are
There are no external dependencies, no framework is required
You are not limited to key down events (You can specify keypress, keydown, or keyup or let Mousetrap choose for you).
You can bind key events directly to special keys such as ? or * without having to specify shift+/ or shift+8 which are not consistent across all keyboards
It works with international keyboard layouts
You can bind Gmail like key sequences in addition to regular keys and key combinations
You can programmatically trigger key events with the trigger() method
It works with the numeric keypad on your keyboard
The code is well documented/commented
