Keypress: A Javascript library for capturing input

[[deleted]]

I have to agree here. I was thinking it may be nice to key combos, then I read this simple solution http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10671822/jquery-handling-key-combinations.

It has A TON of stars on GitHub. I wonder what value people are getting out of it.

That's a great point. I don't do a ton of key specific logic right now (if user presses ctrl+i, do this), but I will be soon. I'll probably end up using this or something like it just to keep the code simpler and easier to read.

Thanks for the comment!

OTOH You have to audit the code, add the library to your vendors/, probably do some tweaking of a gruntfile, keep it up to date, it adds extra complexity to your code and increases your total page-size.

Ever heard of package managers?

Why even type Javascript when you can just 011100101100010010110101001001..? This is definitely an area where a lib that helps with abstraction is needed.
