An example might be to setup a hotkey so that your JavaScript app has the ability to trigger some functions when the user enters that particular key. • We'll finish up the tutorial by running through a quick example where we create a 'Save' hot key that triggers an alert to the user when they press the combination of CTRL + S on their keyboard.
