js meetup: keyboard shortcuts

June 06, 2008

Alex from Acunotes (?) demonstrated a cool library for adding keyboard shortcuts to your site. They use gmail conventions, which are essentially borrowed from vi, but the feedback from their non-geek users is very positive. (Some browsers eat control keys, so we can’t use standard desktop shortcuts. They can do key-combos with shift)

My notes:

• competitive advantage for them, users like it
• open source, MIT license, GIT project
• 8k including comments :)
• nice intuitive interface, with concise scripting
