Function: isModifierKey()

function isModifierKey(event): boolean;

Defined in: parse.ts:292

Checks if a KeyboardEvent represents a modifier-only key press.

Modifier-only keys are keys like 'Control', 'Shift', 'Alt', 'Meta', etc. that don't have an associated character or action key. This is useful for filtering out modifier key presses when recording shortcuts.

Parameters

event

KeyboardEvent

The KeyboardEvent to check

Returns

boolean

True if the event represents a modifier-only key

Example

document.addEventListener('keydown', (event) => {
  if (isModifierKey(event)) {
    console.log('Modifier key pressed, waiting for action key...')
    return
  }
  // Process non-modifier key
})
