Query modifier keys at any time.
npm install modifiersInspired by keymaster.
This is a small subset of the functionality in that library. See for yourself how small it is.
At any point in time you can query the modifiers object to see if a modifier key is held down.
Default supported keys are:shift, alt, option (same as alt), control, command
``javascript
if (modifiers.command || modifiers.control) {
// do something special
}
// ..inside your click handler
if (modifiers.shift) {
...
}
`
You can also add your own to the defaults:
`javascript`
modifiers.add({{
leftArrow: 37,
upArrow: 38,
rightArrow: 39,
downArrow: 40,
w: 87,
a: 65,
s: 83,
d: 68
});
To create the minified and compressed version with source mapping, run:
uglifyjs modifiers.js --source-map modifiers.min.map --screw-ie8 -c -m -o modifiers.min.js`
The code uses addEventListener so if you sadly need to support IE8 you'll want to change the code to use
something like what's described here.
