# global-shortcut
|
|
|
|
The `global-shortcut` module can register/unregister a global keyboard shortcut
|
|
in operating system, so that you can customize the operations for various shortcuts.
|
|
Note that the shortcut is global, even if the app does not get focused, it will still work.
|
|
You should not use this module until the ready event of app module gets emitted.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var app = require('app');
|
|
var globalShortcut = require('global-shortcut');
|
|
|
|
app.on('ready', function() {
|
|
// Register a 'ctrl+x' shortcut listener.
|
|
var ret = globalShortcut.register('ctrl+x', function() {
|
|
console.log('ctrl+x is pressed');
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
if (!ret) {
|
|
console.log('registration failed');
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Check whether a shortcut is registered.
|
|
console.log(globalShortcut.isRegistered('ctrl+x'));
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
app.on('will-quit', function() {
|
|
// Unregister a shortcut.
|
|
globalShortcut.unregister('ctrl+x');
|
|
|
|
// Unregister all shortcuts.
|
|
globalShortcut.unregisterAll();
|
|
});
|
|
```
