I would love to see a jQuery plugin that handles the browser-specific
retrieval of the key events, translates them into the keycodes, and does the
test for a specific combination for you behind the scenes. I'm imagining
usage something like this:
$().keycommand({'control','s'}, function() {
// what you want control-s to do.
});
Maybe you should be able to specify the event:
$().keycommand({'control','s'}, 'keydown', function() {
// what you want control-s to do.
});
Or, be able to do all your key bindings in a single hash, like:
$().keycommands({
{'control','s'}: function(){ // custom save },
{'control','z'}: function(){ // custom undo }
});
Possible? Anyone done something like this?
Cheers,
Jason
