Function: createHotkeySequence()

function createHotkeySequence(
   sequence, 
   callback, 
   options): void;

Defined in: packages/svelte-hotkeys/src/createHotkeySequence.svelte.ts:72

Each step may include modifiers. You can chain the same modifier across steps (e.g. Shift+R then Shift+T). Modifier-only keydown events (Shift, Control, Alt, or Meta pressed alone) are ignored while matching—they do not advance the sequence or reset progress.

Parameters

sequence

MaybeGetter<HotkeySequence>

callback

HotkeyCallback

options

MaybeGetter<CreateHotkeySequenceOptions> = {}

Returns

void

Example

svelte

<script lang="ts">
  import { createHotkeySequence } from '@tanstack/svelte-hotkeys'

  // Scroll to top when 'G G' is pressed
  createHotkeySequence(['G', 'G'], () => {
    scrollToTop()
  })

  // Delete line when 'D D' is pressed
  createHotkeySequence(['D', 'D'], () => {
    deleteLine()
  })

  // Delete inner word when 'D I W' is pressed
  createHotkeySequence(['D', 'I', 'W'], () => {
    deleteInnerWord()
  }, { timeout: 500 })

  // Same modifier on consecutive steps (bare Shift between chords is ignored)
  createHotkeySequence(['Shift+R', 'Shift+T'], () => {
    nextAction()
  })
</script>
