Delay

[JAStanton]

Is there a way to control the delay between keys pressed? E.g. if I have a keybinding of "g + i" I have to press G then I pretty fast, but if you look at gmails shortcuts you can press g then wait and then press i about > 1.5 seconds and it will still work. Thoughts?

Not in core. I'm trying to keep the library as simple and focused as possible. Things like temporal logic and control flow are out of the scope of this project. You can do this with setTimeout and a boolean.

I would have to edit the core in order to add the setTimeout correct?

You shouldn't have to add this to KeyboardJS at all. I meant within your binding callback. Something like this.

var longKeyPress = false;
KeyboardJS.bind.key('i', function() {
    if(longKeyPress === 'g') {
        myHotKeyFunct();
        longKeyPress = false;
    } else {
        longKeyPress = 'i';
    }
});
KeyboardJS.bind.key('g', function() {
    if(longKeyPress === 'i') {
        myHotKeyFunct();
        longKeyPress = false;
    } else {
        longKeyPress = 'g';
    }
});

function myHotKeyFunct() {
    //Your logic here
}

seems really hacky, I thought this would have been an issue while making the core, I will poke around a bit and see if I can make a more re-usable solution. Thanks for you tips though this helped

Well its not what I would put in a project of mine the way it is, its just an example to get you going. I wouldn't say its a hack.

I don't plan on adding this to KeyboardJS because the project is only concerned with giving developers the ability to bind to key combo events. How you want to attach your logic is up to you.

Thanks so much for this tool it's awesome :)

Hey, no problem. I'm glad you like it. If you have any other ideas or questions feel free to post them here.
