Order of keys- does it matter or should it matter ?

[KMJ-007]

I have this small doubt,

I have command alt+ctrl+o,

but it also works when I press ctrl+alt+o

function ExampleComponent() {
  useHotkeys('alt + ctrl + o', () => alert('Key a was pressed'))

  return (
    <span>Press the a key to see it work.</span>
  )
}

does order matter/should order matter?

will it compare the combined combination ?

because i was expecting that if i only pressed in the combination then only it will work!

but it worked in all combination

if order matters for some people, I was thinking to contribute to the project, where you mention if you want sritct hot key, then it will match the order!

The order doesn't matter, all combination will trigger the callback since the hook only check if all those keys are pressed down and doesn't keep track of the order.

What you are basically asking for is a timed combination something like this: #989

If you want to take this issue I'd be happy to give you some pointers.

@JohannesKlauss I could also help if given some direction or thoughts 🙏

I think it makes sense to hold this ticket until version 5 gets released and all those nasty key and keyCode confusion bugs are getting sorted out.
