Backbone Hotkeys

Adds hotkey events support to Backbone views. Uses require.js, written in CoffeeScript.

Example:

class MyView extends Backbone.View
  hotkeys: 
    # events hash works just like Backbone ui events
    events: 
      # .. accepting method names
      'q': 'quit'
      # .. or inline functions
      'x': -> ...

    # triggers are similar to Marionette triggers:
    triggers: 
      # .. this will trigger 'hotkey:escape' event on the view when escape key is pressed
      'esc': 'hotkey:escape' 

Usage:

You can either include backbone-view-patch.js to monkey-patch Backbone.View, or include hotkeys-mixin.js to apply the mixin manually:

require 'hotkeys-mixin', (hotkeys) ->
  MyViewWithHotkeys = hotkeys.mixinTo class extends Backbone.View
    ...

Todo:

• Support multi-key hotkeys (e. g. 'ctrl+a', ['up', 'up', 'down', 'down', 'left', 'right', 'left', 'right', 'b', 'a'])
