Keybindings

Mongotron keybindings are stored in a config file called keybindings.json

~/.mongotron/keybindings.json

Keybindings work very similarly to Atom's keybindings. Each object contains the all the keybindings that are registered in a particular context. Having different contexts allows you to have the same key combination do different things, depending on the context.

"mongotron-workspace": {
  "cmd-shift-n" : "connection-manager:new-connection"
}

This specifies that in the mongotron-workspace context, when the keys cmd-shift-n are pressed open the connection manager to the new connection screen.

Registering Event Handlers

Events handlers can be register by calling the keypressService.registerCommandHandler() method.

keypressService.registerCommandHandler("connection-manager:new-connection", function() {
    navUtils.showConnections();
});

Global Events

Keypress events can also be global, in which case their handlers will always called. Use the namespace ‘global’ to register an event in the global namespace.

Ex.

keypressService.registerCommandHandler("global:new-connection", function() {
    navUtils.showConnections();
});
