backbone.mousetrap

Bring Backbone.js and Mousetrap together nicely for declarative keyboard event bindings on Backbone views.

• Nice declarative syntax
• Allows you to bind different keyboard events to different views
• Keyboard events are unbound automatically when the view's remove() is called

var View = Backbone.View.extend({
    keyboardEvents: {
        'command+shift+t': 'test',
        'control+shift+t': 'test'
    },
 
    test: function(ev) {
        alert('hello world!');
    }
});
