HotKeys is a keyboard hooker plug-in.

May you find this useful in cases of:
  • Powering your Ajax applications with keyboard short-cuts such as Ctrl+x, Alt+y, Shift+z, etc.
  • Games development with Javascript + jQuery

HotKeys lets you easily add and remove handlers for keyboard events anywhere in your code supporting almost *any* keys combination.
It takes a single line of code to bind or unbind a hot key.

Binding 'Ctrl+c'

$(document).bind('keydown', 'Ctrl+c', fn);

Unbinding 'Ctrl+c'
$(document).unbind('keydown', 'Ctrl+c', fn);
