Class Ext.KeyMap

Package:Ext
Defined In:KeyMap.js
Class:KeyMap
Extends:Object
Handles mapping keys to actions for an element. One key map can be used for multiple actions. The constructor accepts the same config object as defined by addBinding. If you bind a callback function to a KeyMap, anytime the KeyMap handles an expected key combination it will call the function with this signature (if the match is a multi-key combination the callback will still be called only once): (String key, Ext.EventObject e) A KeyMap can also handle a string representation of keys.
Usage:
// map one key by key code
var map = new Ext.KeyMap("my-element", {
    key: 13, // or Ext.EventObject.ENTER
    fn: myHandler,
    scope: myObject
});

// map multiple keys to one action by string
var map = new Ext.KeyMap("my-element", {
    key: "a\r\n\t",
    fn: myHandler,
    scope: myObject
});

// map multiple keys to multiple actions by strings and array of codes
var map = new Ext.KeyMap("my-element", [
    {
        key: [10,13],
        fn: function(){ alert("Return was pressed"); }
    }, {
        key: "abc",
        fn: function(){ alert('a, b or c was pressed'); }
    }, {
        key: "\t",
        ctrl:true,
        shift:true,
        fn: function(){ alert('Control + shift + tab was pressed.'); }
    }
]);
Note: A KeyMap starts enabled
