Tanstack hotkeys on react native?

[OndrejHana]

Hello, I’ve built an experiment, that adapts this library to react native.

I was looking for a solution, that could provide a unified interface for handling keyboard shortcuts on all of react natives platforms. I’ve used Tanstack Hotkeys before on web and really liked it, so I tried extracting the use of DOM APIs and document object into it’s own interface and created custom adapters.

For example, this is the kitchen sink demo working on ipad simulator.

Here is the repository

My question is, would you consider adding something similar to this as a first party? I know it’s a large change, but it would increase the usefulness of the library to many more platforms.

I’d be very happy to help, but if this isn’t the direction you have in mind for the project, take it only as a cool experiment.

I'm curious what the point of building hotkeys is for mobile devices?

There are a lot of devices, that run mobile OS but also have a keyboard. I do a big chunk of my work and studying on an iPad. There are also versions of react native for desktop and web.

I looked at your rewrite and the codebase doesn't seem to resemble the original tanstack hotkeys codebase much at all. So seems like it has to be a totally different implementation anyway?
