Package Exports

meta-keys

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (meta-keys) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

meta-keys

Get the state of any pressed meta keys, differentiating between their left/right location on the keyboard.

Usage

`keys = MetaKeys([element])`

Creates a new instance of meta-keys, listening to keyboard events fired on element. If element is not supplied, window will be used.

const keys = require('meta-keys')()

setInterval(function () {
  if (keys.shift[0]) {
    console.log('Left shift key is down')
  }
  if (keys.shift[1]) {
    console.log('Right shift key is down')
  }
}, 1000)

`keys.shift`

A [left, right] array of booleans, which are true when the Shift key is pressed.

`keys.meta`

A [left, right] array of booleans, which are true when the Meta key is pressed (either the Windows key on Windows or Command on OSX).

`keys.ctrl`

A [left, right] array of booleans, which are true when the Control key is pressed.

`keys.alt`

A [left, right] array of booleans, which are true when the Alt/Option key is pressed.
