hotkeys-js is a tiny, framework-agnostic library for binding keyboard shortcuts in the browser, from simple key presses to complex combos and sequences. It provides a declarative API to register handlers like ctrl+k, shift+alt+p, or g g, and it normalizes key behavior across major browsers. The library includes scoping, so the same shortcut can trigger different actions depending on page context, and it offers filters to ignore inputs when the user is typing in form fields. You can enable or disable groups of shortcuts dynamically, making it well suited for SPAs and dashboard apps. Because it has no external dependencies and a small footprint, it drops easily into existing codebases. Its focus on developer ergonomics makes defining, managing, and cleaning up shortcuts straightforward.

Features

  • Bind single keys, modifiers, combos, and multi-key sequences
  • Cross-browser normalization with a small, dependency-free core
  • Scope-based handling so shortcuts vary by context or mode
  • Filters to ignore inputs and editable fields to prevent conflicts
  • Runtime enable, disable, and unbind APIs for dynamic UIs
  • Works seamlessly with vanilla JS or frameworks
