Type-Safe & Cross-Platform

Define keyboard shortcuts with a fully type-safe Hotkey string type that validates key combinations at the type level. Cross-platform Mod modifier automatically maps to Cmd on macOS and Ctrl elsewhere, so your shortcuts work everywhere without platform checks.

Better Defaults

Ships with sensible and safe defaults, including automatic preventDefault and stopPropagation, smartly ignoring shortcuts when input fields are focused, and automatic cleanup on unmount. Scoping hotkeys to refs or elements is easy, making it straightforward to define context-aware keyboard shortcuts without unexpected side-effects.

Sequences & Recording

Build multi-step keyboard sequences like Vim-style commands or cheat codes with configurable timeouts. Let users record and customize their own shortcuts with the built-in hotkey recorder that captures modifier and key combinations in real time.
