What's new

2.03

  • Fixed a bug unregistering combos using arrays of keys
  • Added ie8 compatibility shim. Thanks to barrkel. Issue #41

2.0.0

  • Keypress now has a listener class that must be instantiated. The functions that were previously in the global window.keypress object are now public methods of the window.keypress.Listener class.
  • Each instance of a Keypress listener can be bound to a DOM element by passing in the element to the listener's constructor.
  • Combos now default to being ordered (the property is now called is_unordered and is false by default).
  • Combos' handlers preventDefault unless the handler returns true.
  • The "combo" public method is now called "simple_combo".
  • The basic combo helpers for simple, counting and sequence combos no longer have a third prevent_default optional parameter.
  • Debugging console logs can be enabled by setting keypress.debug to true.
  • All key event callbacks send a third argument specifying whether the event is firing again automatically because the key has remained pressed down.

1.0.9

  • Fix escape key bug. Issue #17.
  • Fix unregister bug. Issue #24.

1.0.8

  • Ensure that on_release is called for all combos, not just counting combos.
  • Fix bug that was causing is_ordered to be ignored.
  • Fixed an edge case for a counting combo's count not being reset.
  • Improve how key events are bound

1.0.7

  • Fixed combo matching to prevent performance issues as more keys are pressed.

1.0.6

  • Fixed a bug with exclusive combos not properly excluding each other in some cases.
  • Feature added to allow for combos that do not fire if unrelated keys are also pressed ("is_solitary" boolean).

TODO

  • Put negative edge in sequences.
  • See if we can do away with keyup_fired and count properties.
