Arbitrary Hotkeys

jQuery plugin that allows you to set arbitrary hotkeys for hyperlinks in your HTML page.

Usage

• Download the script or get the link to the script with CDN here
• Import both jQuery and arbitrary-hotkeys.js in your HTML head, example:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-2.1.4.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/arbitrary-hotkeys.js"></script>

• Create a HTML tag inside head named "hotkey" and list the hotkeys you want in this form:
  <hotkey key="your_hotkey" targetId="id_of_your_html_hyperlink"></hotkey> (a HTML tag)
  Example:

    <hotkey key="git" targetId="github"></hotkey>
    <hotkey key="goo" targetId="google"></hotkey>

For this example of hiperlink in HTML body:

<a id="google" href="https://plus.google.com">Google+</a>
<a id="github" href="https://github.com">GitHub</a>

• Enjoy!

Troubleshooting

Arbitrary Hotkeys doesn't work with Ctrl, Alt and Shift buttons!

• Arbitrary Hotkeys was made for setting up keystrokes in web pages from strings, like "f", "ja", "trello" with usage inside user's HTML (not in a script), and it doesn't support modifiers.
