rebar-hotkeys

This is a script for Rebar that manages hotkeys with long-press detection.

Features

• Binds hotkeys to callback functions.
• Detects long-presses for hotkeys with a configurable timeout.

Installation

This script requires the Rebar framework for alt:V.

1. Clone the repository in your plugins folder:

   git clone https://github.com/nightowl07/rebar-hotkeys src/plugins/hotkeys

Usage

1. Get the API

   await alt.Utils.waitFor(() => useClientApi().isReady('hotkey-api'));
   const hotkeyApi = useClientApi().get('hotkey-api')

2. Use the hotkeyApi function to get access to the addHotkey and removeHotkey functions:

   // Example usage
   hotkeyApi.addHotkey(84, (isLongPress) => {
       if (isLongPress) {
           console.log('T key long-pressed!');
       } else {
           console.log('T key pressed!');
       }
   });

   • addHotkey(key, callback): Binds a hotkey identified by its key code to a callback function. The callback function receives a boolean argument indicating whether the key was held long enough to be considered a long-press.
   • removeHotkey(key): Removes the hotkey binding for the specified key code.

Configuration

• longPressTimeout: This variable defines the time (in milliseconds) after which a key press is considered a long-press. You can modify this value in the constructor of the HotKeyManager class.
