Function to convert a KeyboardEvent to key string #377

Open NCC1701M opened 2 years ago

NCC1701M commented 2 years ago

The lib should support the function to convert a KeyboardEvent to a key string.

For example:

hotkeys("*", (evt, handler) => {
   console.log("You've pressed: " + handler.toKeyString());
  // Example output: You've pressed: ctrl+a+s
});

I added a similar issue many months ago, but there were no replies:

User friendliness and customisation suffer because of lack of this feature.
