203 == Adding your own shortcuts ==
204
205 You can add your own keyboard shortcuts in a few javascript lines :
206
207 {{code language="html"}}
208 <script type="text/javascript">
209 //<![CDATA[
210 shortcut.add("Ctrl+Alt+N", function() { alert("Hey there! Congratulations on typing this one ;)"); });
211 //]]>
212 </script>
213 {{/code}}
214
215 {{html clean="false"}}
216 <script type="text/javascript">
217 shortcut.add("Ctrl+Alt+N", function() { alert("Hey there! Congratulations on typing this one ;)"); });
218 </script>
219 {{/html}}
220
221 Try the snippet by pressing (% class="key" %)**Ctrl**(%%) + (% class="key" %)**Alt**(%%) + (% class="key" %)**n**(%%).
222
223 Also check the [[complete documentation>>https://dmauro.github.io/Keypress/]].
224
225 == Removing keyboard shortcuts ==
226
227 To remove a shortcut adapt this snippet to your needs :
228
229 {{code language="html"}}
230 <script type="text/javascript">
231 //<![CDATA[
232 shortcut.remove("Ctrl+Alt+N");
233 //]]>
234 </script>
235 {{/code}}
236
237 {{html clean="false"}}
238 <script type="text/javascript">
239 function removeCtrlAltN() {
240 shortcut.remove("Ctrl+Alt+N");
241 }
242 </script>
243 <a onclick="removeCtrlAltN(); return false;" href="#">Click here to try the snippet, it will remove the Ctrl+Alt+n shortcut</a>.
244 {{/html}}
245
246 == Removing all shortcuts at once ==
247
248 {{code language="html"}}
249 <script type="text/javascript">
250 //<![CDATA[
251 for (binding in shortcut.all_shortcuts()) {
252 shortcut.remove(binding.keys.join(' '));
253 }
254 //]]>
255 </script>
256 {{/code}}
257
258 {{velocity}}
259 #if (!$isGuest && $isAdvancedUser)
260 {{html clean="false"}}
261 <script type="text/javascript">
262 //<![CDATA[
263 function removeAll() {
264 for (binding in shortcut.all_shortcuts()) {
265 shortcut.remove(binding.keys.join(' '));
266 }
267 }
268 //]]>
269 </script>
