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

Defined in: packages/vue-hotkeys/src/useHotkeySequence.ts:76

Vue composable for registering a keyboard shortcut sequence (Vim-style).

This composable allows you to register multi-key sequences like 'g g' or 'd d' that trigger when the full sequence is pressed within a timeout.

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.

MaybeRefOrGetter<HotkeySequence>

Array of hotkey strings that form the sequence

HotkeyCallback

Function to call when the sequence is completed

MaybeRefOrGetter<UseHotkeySequenceOptions> = {}

Options for the sequence behavior

void

<script setup>
import { useHotkeySequence } from '@tanstack/vue-hotkeys'

// 'g g' to go to top
useHotkeySequence(['G', 'G'], () => {
  scrollToTop()
})

// 'd d' to delete line
useHotkeySequence(['D', 'D'], () => {
  deleteLine()
})

// 'd i w' to delete inner word
useHotkeySequence(['D', 'I', 'W'], () => {
  deleteInnerWord()
}, { timeout: 500 })

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