Mousetrap
Mousetrap is a JavaScript keyboard shortcut library used to bind specific key combinations and sequences to custom functions in web applications. It serves as a keyboard event handler that listens to and manages keypress, keydown, and keyup events across a browser window.
The library includes a sequence-based input manager for triggering actions based on a precise series of keys pressed in a specific order. It also provides a custom shortcut recorder to capture user keystrokes for defining and saving personalized shortcuts.
The system supports global binding registration to ensure shortcuts trigger regardless of the active input element. It includes capabilities for bulk shortcut configuration, programmatic event triggering to simulate key presses, and the ability to pause event execution to temporarily disable registered shortcuts.
