Description Author

This object can execute functions when certain keys are pressed.

It takes a given page element and listen to key press events.

The object can register different callback functions that will be called when specific keys are pressed inside the specified page element.

The object accepts combinations of CTRL, ALT and Shift keys.

The same callbacks can also be unregistered, so the object stops listening to the specified key presses.

In JavaScript it is easy to handle keyboard events. However, if you you want to handle different key events with different actions, you need to decode the keyboard events and dispatch the specific actions for each key.

This JavaScript object simplifies this process by assigning different callback functions to each of keys you need to handle its events.
