injectHotkeys

function injectHotkeys(hotkeys, commonOptions?): void;

Defined in: injectHotkeys.ts:75

Angular inject-based API for registering multiple keyboard hotkeys at once.

Uses the singleton HotkeyManager for efficient event handling. Accepts a dynamic array of hotkey definitions.

Call in an injection context (e.g. constructor or field initializer). Uses effect() to track reactive dependencies and update registrations when options or the callback change.

Options are merged in this order: provideHotkeys defaults < commonOptions < per-definition options

Parameters

hotkeys

| InjectHotkeyDefinition[] | (() => InjectHotkeyDefinition[])

Array of hotkey definitions, or getter returning them

commonOptions?

| InjectHotkeyOptions | (() => InjectHotkeyOptions)

Shared options for all hotkeys, or getter

Returns

void

  constructor() {
    injectHotkeys([
      { hotkey: 'Mod+S', callback: () => this.save() },

      { hotkey: 'Escape', callback: () => this.close() },
    ])
  }
}

@Component({ ... })
export class DynamicShortcuts {
  shortcuts = signal([...])

  constructor() {
    injectHotkeys(
      () => this.shortcuts().map((s) => ({
        hotkey: s.key,
        callback: s.action,
      })),
    )
