HeldKeyCodesController

Defined in: controllers/held-key-codes.ts:27

A Lit ReactiveController that tracks all currently held key names to their physical event.code values.

Subscribes to the global KeyStateTracker and triggers host updates whenever keys are pressed or released.

Example

class KeyDisplay extends LitElement {
  private heldKeyCodes = new HeldKeyCodesController(this)

  render() {
    const heldCodes = Object.entries(this.heldKeyCodes.value).map(([key, code]) => `${key}: ${code}`).join(' + ')
    return html`
      <div>
        Currently pressed: ${heldCodes || 'None'}
      </div>
    `
  }
}
