Install it with yarn:
yarn add use-shortcut
Or with npm:
npm i use-shortcut --save
The simplest way to start playing around with use-shortcut is with this CodeSandbox snippet: https://codesandbox.io/s/jj8l8y0m79
import React from 'react';
import useShortcut from 'use-shortcut';
export default function MyComponent() {
const [activeKeys, isShortcut] = useShortcut();
const handleClick = () => {
if (isShortcut('alt+shift')) {
console.log('We have a shortcut pressed!');
} else {
console.log('This is a regular click');
}
console.log('Current active keys:', activeKeys);
};
return (
<div className="App">
<button onClick={handleClick}>Press me (optionally with alt and shift pressed</button>
</div>
);
}
You can also import useShortcutEffect
like in the following example:
import React from 'react';
import { useShortcutEffect } from 'use-shortcut';
export default function MyComponent() {
useShortcutEffect(() => {
console.log('Shortcut pressed');
}, 'alt+1');
...
}
