visualKeys
VisualKeys is a jQuery plugin to configure shortcuts to users most used actions. It's best on web interfaces where users have to execute repetitive tasks giving them a faster way to do the job.
Install
Add dist/visualkeys-[version].min.js
and dist/visualkeys-[version].min.css
to your page
<link href="visualkeys-[version].min.css" rel="stylesheet"/> <script src="jquery-[version].min.js"></script> <script src="visualkeys-[version].min.js"></script>
Usage
$.visualkeys(options);
options
is an object with the following properties:
{ 86 : { // key press to execute shortcut text : '<i>[key]</i><b>command</b> description', // text to show on menu exec : function(){/* will be executed when key is pressed */}, hide : function(){/* will hide this menu item if this returns true */} } }
The hide
option can be used as a context. To show, for example, a shortcut that exists on one page but not on the other:
hide : function() { return ('page.selector').length > 0; }
Other options
- change the appearence of the menu by editing visualkeys.css
- bind esc to a exec:function(). It'll be executed right away, not showing the menu
- open the menu and mouse click a shortcut. It'll be executed
- F9 can be used as an alternative to ctrl+space to open the menu
- unbind and remove visualkeys with $.visualkeys('remove')
