⌨️ Keyboard Shortcuts

Production keyboard shortcut patterns and global hotkey handling.

Hotkey Registry Pattern

const useHotkeys = (hotkeys) => {
  React.useEffect(() => {
    const handler = (e) => {
      hotkeys.forEach((hotkey) => {
        if (e.key === hotkey.key && e.ctrlKey === hotkey.ctrl) {
          e.preventDefault();
          hotkey.handler();
        }
      });
    };

    window.addEventListener("keydown", handler);
    return () => window.removeEventListener("keydown", handler);
  }, [hotkeys]);
};

✅ Key Takeaways

• Build **hotkey registries** for application shortcuts

• Implement **global keyboard handlers** efficiently

• Handle **modifier combinations** (Ctrl, Shift, Alt)

• Clean up **event listeners** properly
