Keyboard Shortcuts?

[eckdanny]

Dunno if this could be a thing... but it'd be great to be able to invoke snippets via keyboard shortcuts.

Burden for supporting that is agreeably not on this repo. If wiring keyboard shortcuts to snippets is possible, however, I'd love to see how to do it on the README.

I use the heck out of hashlink.js, but having to open up the dev tools panel is a bit cumbersome.

If this is a thing, I've had a good experience with this library for setting up keyboard shortcuts.

You could also put some of these snippets in a bookmarklet.

AFAIK the best way to do this right now would probably be a bookmarklet and assign a keyword then use keyboard shortcuts to focus the URL bar and enter the keyword + enter. This surely doesn't seem ideal but I don't know of any other way to run it without using the tools. May be useful to generate the bookmarklets in the Rakefile then add instructions for using them in this way.

How can a snippet be run from a bookmarklet? (Is it even possible to do so? Perhaps there is or could be a Chrome browser extension that can help expose them to bookmarklet javascript?)

Just to let you know guys,, that has landed in Chrome 59 natively,,

do something like:

`CTRL+SHIFT+P` -> `I` and name of your snippet

cheers

@mkdizajn, thanks for the notice, and that's a great use of a GIF.

So, as the GIF shows, the new Chrome 59 key-press steps for a command menu to execute a snippet are as follows:

1. Press "F12" to open your developer console (if you didn't have it open already).
2. Press "Ctrl-Shift-P" to open a command menu window.
3. Delete the ">" that is already there.
4. Type "!" and then the snippet name (or select it from the list) and then press "Enter".

This process could certainly be shortened. I vote for keeping this issue open until it is shortened.
