Browser Compatibility

hotkeys supports differences between reported keyCodes for various browsers. Variants for Firefox, Opera and Chrome/IE/Safari are supplied out of the box and it's trivial to add new mappings - check out lib/keycodes.js for the gory details.

To set up hotkeys for specific browser support call hotkeys.defaultKeycodes() before calling any other library functions. Valid arguments are either "defaults" (for Chrome/IE/Safari), "firefox" or "opera". Browser detection is the responsibility of your code, it is not included in the hotkeys library.
