Overriding browser shortcuts?

[NathanWailes]

Thank you for creating this library, it's extremely easy to use and very helpful!

I wanted to set a shortcut to 'ctrl+t', but when I tested it in Chrome, it opened a new tab instead.

Is there any way to override browser shortcuts?

If not, is there a list of all browser shortcuts across all browsers, so I can know which shortcuts aren't already being used by one or more browsers?

I thought about implementing the method, but I realized the part.

Press ctrl + r to prevent the browser from refreshing and performing other operations. But ctrl + t does not work.

You can try switching to another combined shortcut.

Similarly, on a Mac, command-option-left-arrow and command-option-right-arrow don't work. I think those events are handled at a very low level, javascript doesn't see them, and can't preventDefault(). I'm not aware of any away around that, but wish for one.

@davemerrill The command + option + left shortcut is occupied by the browser.

I would like to override command + p shortcut and to print in particular, How can i override default print shortcut option.

hotkeys('command+p,ctrl+p', function(event,handler) {
  event.preventDefault(); 
  console.log('handle', handler.key,  event)
});

@jaywcjlove thanks. It works. I use event.preventDefault(); to disabled short cut of browser or computer

This does not work for ctrl + t in chrome. The handler doesn't get called, thus event.preventDefault() is never reached.
