Again it is very simple, looks you to feel like a magician if you are done. Just follow the steps :-
Download the shortcut.js file and include it in your layout or view file
http://www.openjs.com/scripts/events/keyboard_shortcuts/shortcut.js
<%= javascript_include_tag ‘shortcut’ %>
Then, add the following lines in the layout or view file where you want the keyboard shortcut to work on
shortcut.add(“e”,function() {
short_modal2(‘/chats’);
},{‘disable_in_input’ : true});
disable_in_input: true will make sure the shortcut key ‘e’ won’t work when the user is on input field like textbox and textarea. Default is false.
shortcut.add(“Shift+T”,function() {
short_modal1(‘/tasks/new’);
});
For adding a shortcut which is already a shortcut key on a browser like ‘/’, ‘Ctrl + F’, ‘Ctrl + S’ etc…,
shortcut.add(“/”,function() {
$(‘.keyboard-shortcuts’).css(‘display’,’none’);
},{‘type’: ‘keydown’, ‘propagate’:false, ‘target’:document
,’keycode’ : 191,’disable_in_input’ : true});
The following are the valid keys (you can also make the combination of any two keys from below) :-
- All alpha/numeric keys – abc…xyz,01..89
- Special Characters – Every special character on a standard keyboard can be accessed.

That’s it. Rock the world…
