jQuery Plugin To Enable Custom Shortcuts On Your Website - Hotkey Event

Hotkey Event is a cross-platform jQuery plugin for defining (combo) keyboard shortcuts such as 'CONTROL+ALT+PLUS' and binding an event with it. 

Basic usage:

1. Include the jQuery hotkey event plugin after jQuery library.

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.hotkey.js"></script>

2. Define a combo shortcut and execute a function as the hotkey event is triggered.

$(document).hotkey('alt+shift+esc', function(e){
  // do stuff...
});
