# global-shortcut
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The `global-shortcut` module can register/unregister a global keyboard shortcut
|
||||||
|
in operating system, so that you can custom the operations for various shortcuts.
|
||||||
|
Note that it is global, even the app does not get focused, it still works.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```javascript
|
||||||
|
var globalShortcut = require('global-shortcut');
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// Register a 'ctrl+x' shortcut listener.
|
||||||
|
var ret = globalShortcut.register('ctrl+x', function() { console.log('ctrl+x is pressed'); })
|
||||||
|
if (!ret)
|
||||||
|
console.log('registerion fails');
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// Check whether a shortcut is registered.
|
||||||
|
console.log(globalShortcut.isRegistered('ctrl+x'));
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// Unregister a shortcut.
|
||||||
|
globalShortcut.unregister('ctrl+x');
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// Unregister all shortcuts.
|
||||||
|
globalShortcut.unregisterAll();
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## globalShortcut.register(keycode, callback)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* `keycode` String
|
||||||
|
* `callback` Function
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Registers a global shortcut of `keycode`, the `callback` would be called when
|

|
||||||
|
__Modifiers__: control(ctrl), command(cmd), alt, shift, commandorcontrol(cmdorctrl).
|
||||||
|
|

|
||||||
|
insert, delete, esc, space, backspace, tab, f1-f12, volumeup, volumedown, media
|

keys(medianextrack, mediaprevioustrack, mediastop, mediaplaypause).

# shortcut
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A `Shortcut` presents a global keyboard shortcut in operating system. If a
|
|
||||||
`Shortcut` is registered in app, the app will receive an `active` event when
|
|
||||||
user presses the shortcut. Note that it is global, even your app does not get
|
|
||||||
focused, it still works.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```javascript
|
|
||||||
var Shortcut = require('shortcut');
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
shortcut = new Shortcut('ctrl+a');
|
|
||||||
shortcut.setKey('ctrl+s');
|
|
||||||
shortcut.on('active', function() { console.log('ctrl+s pressed'); });
|
|
||||||
shortcut.on('failed', function() { console.log("failed"); });
|
|
||||||
shortcut.register();
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Class: Shortcut
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
`Shortcut` is an [EventEmitter](event-emitter).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### new Shortcut(keycode)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* `keycode` String
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Creates a new `Shortcut` associated with the `keycode`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
`keycode` is a string to specify shortcut key, such as "ctrl+shift+a".
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A `keycode` consists of modifier and key two parts:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
__Modifiers__: control(ctrl), command(cmd), alt, shift, commandorcontrol(cmdorctrl).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
__Supported keys__: 0-9, a-z, up, down, left, right, home, end, pagedown, pageup,
|
|
||||||
insert, delete, esc, space, backspace, tab, f1-f12, volumeup, volumedown, media
|
|
||||||
keys(medianextrack, mediaprevioustrack, mediastop, mediaplaypause).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Event: active
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Emitted when a registered `shortcut` is pressed by user.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Event: failed
|
|
||||||
|

|
|
||||||

|
