# Keyboard Shortcuts

## Basic usage On the client, add a keyboard event to `hx-trigger` alongside `click`. ```html ``` - [`hx-trigger`](https://four.htmx.org/reference/attributes/hx-trigger) accepts multiple events separated by commas. - `keyup[altKey&&shiftKey&&key=='D']` uses an [event filter](https://four.htmx.org/reference/attributes/hx-trigger#event-filters) to match only the Alt+Shift+D combination. - [`from:body`](https://four.htmx.org/reference/attributes/hx-trigger#from) makes the shortcut global: the listener is on the ``, not the button itself. On the server, respond with the result content: ```html Done! ``` ## Notes ### Keyboard event properties The filter expression inside `[...]` has access to the raw [KeyboardEvent](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent) properties: `key`, `code`, `altKey`, `ctrlKey`, `shiftKey`, and `metaKey`. Combine them with `&&` and `||` to match any shortcut. For details on key values, see [Keyboard Events on javascript.info](https://javascript.info/keyboard-events).
