Hot Keys / Key Shortcuts Made Simple With jQuery jKey

jKey is a tiny plugin by Oscar Godson that makes hot keys and key shortcuts handling much easier.

jKey works with jQuery, so you can select any applicable element to set a key command to. Basically, any element that can be focused on such as an input or textarea can have a key command applied to it.

It supports multiple keys and unlike OS key shortcuts, jKey allows you to combo just about any key supported by jKey. The supported keys are:

• a-z
• 0-9
• f1-f12
• left, down, up, right
• `, ~, -, _, =, +, [, {, ], }, , |, ;, :, ‘, “, ,, <, ., >, /, ?
• esc/escape, insert, delete, home, end, pgup/pageup, pgdn/pagedown, fn/function(3)
• ctrl/control, alt, shift, backspace/osxdelete(1), enter/return(2), super/windows, capslk/capslock, tab, space/spacebar
