Mousetrap

Mousetrap is a standalone library with no external dependencies. It weighs in at around 2kb minified and gzipped and 4.5kb minified. Mousetrap has been tested and should work in Internet Explorer 6+, Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. The bind method is the main call you will be making. This will bind a specified keyboard command to a callback method. If you want to bind multiple key commands to the same callback you can pass in an array for the first argument. Mousetrap 1.4 introduced a generic mod helper which lets you set cross platform shortcuts. The sequence of keys feature was inspired by Gmail. Any keys separated by a space will be considered a sequence. If you type each key in order the final one in the sequence will trigger the callback. If you type a key not in the sequence or wait too long the sequence will reset. You can also make a sequence that includes key combinations within it.
