Import both jQuery and arbitrary-hotkeys.js in your HTML head, example:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-2.1.4.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/arbitrary-hotkeys.js"></script>

Create a HTML tag inside head named "hotkey" and list the hotkeys you want in this form:
<hotkey key="your_hotkey" targetId="id_of_your_html_hyperlink"></hotkey> (a HTML tag)
Example:

    <hotkey key="git" targetId="github"></hotkey>
    <hotkey key="goo" targetId="google"></hotkey>

For this example of hiperlink in HTML body:

<a id="google" href="https://plus.google.com">Google+</a>
<a id="github" href="https://github.com">GitHub</a>

Arbitrary Hotkeys doesn't work with Ctrl, Alt and Shift buttons!

Arbitrary Hotkeys was made for setting up keystrokes in web pages from strings, like "f", "ja", "trello" with usage inside user's HTML (not in a script), and it doesn't support modifiers.
