Vedeu Keymaps

Keymaps define the keypresses applicable to an interface or view. A keymap sharing the same name as an interface will only operate if that interface is currently in focus.

Alongside this functioanlity, there is a global keymap 'global' which will respond to keypresses regardless of which interface is in focus. The global keymap is useful for mapping the key to exit the application for example.

• It has a name. This name associates it with an Interface.
• A key registered with a keymap can call a method or trigger an event, or either, in multitude.
• Keymaps only affect the interface/view with the same name.
• The same key can be registered with mulitple keymaps and perform different actions dependent on which interface is currently in focus.
• Some keys on the keymap are stored as strings, whilst others are symbols; representations of the keys pressed.
