Question

I am looking to create a JavaScript app that relies heavily on keyboard shortcuts, is here a open-source library that answers those needs with cross-browser support and an easy Api?

Answer 1

KeyMaster

A simple micro-library for defining and dispatching keyboard
shortcuts. It has no dependencies.

// define short of 'a'
key('a', function(){ alert('you pressed a!') });

// returning false stops the event and prevents default browser events
key('ctrl+r', function(){ alert('stopped reload!'); return false });

// multiple shortcuts that do the same thing
key('⌘+r, ctrl+r', function(){ });
