This component binds a hotkey combination to specified javascript event handlers or ajax calls.
Unfortunately The Primefaces docs do not fully document the hotkey bindings.
This component appears to be based on the JQuery js-hotkeys plugin which is documented here and has more details about the bindings and operation.
Note that some bindings are browser dependent – i.e. some browsers may not allow a browser hotkey to be overridden.
Also one gotcha to look out for is that hotkey prefixes (alt, ctrl) etc. are case insensitive but must be placed in alphabetic order, so ctrl-alt-s will not work.
