@# HotkeysTarget

The **HotkeysTarget** component is a utility component which allows you to use the
[`useHotkeys` hook](#core/hooks/use-hotkeys) inside a React component class. It's useful if you want to switch to the
new hotkeys API without refactoring your class components into functional components.

Focus on the piano below to try its hotkeys. The global hotkeys dialog can be shown using the <kbd>?</kbd> key.

@## Usage

First, make sure [**HotkeysProvider**](#core/context/hotkeys-provider) is configured correctly at the root of your
React application.

Then, to register hotkeys and generate the relevant event handlers, use the component like so:

```tsx
import * as React from "react";
import { HotkeysTarget, InputGroup } from "@blueprintjs/core";

export default class extends React.PureComponent {
    private inputRef = React.createRef<HTMLInputElement>();

    private hotkeys = [
        {
            combo: "R",
            global: true,
            label: "Refresh data",
            onKeyDown: () => console.info("Refreshing data..."),
        },
        {
            combo: "F",
            group: "Input",
            label: "Focus text input",
            onKeyDown: this.inputRef.current?.focus(),
        },
    ];

    public render() {
        return (
            <HotkeysTarget hotkeys={this.hotkeys}>
                {({ handleKeyDown, handleKeyUp }) => (
                    <div tabIndex={0} onKeyDown={handleKeyDown} onKeyUp={handleKeyUp}>
                        Press "R" to refresh data, "F" to focus the input...
                        <InputGroup inputRef={this.inputRef} />
                    </div>
                )}
            </HotkeysTarget>
        );
    }
}
```

Hotkeys must define a group, or be marked as global. The component will automatically bind global event handlers
and configure the <kbd>?</kbd> key to open the generated hotkeys dialog, but it is up to you to bind _local_
event handlers with the `handleKeyDown` and `handleKeyUp` functions in the child render function. Note that
you will likely have to set a non-negative `tabIndex` on the DOM node to which these local event handlers are
bound for them to work correctly.

See the [useHotkeys hook documentation](#core/hooks/use-hotkeys.key-combos) to understand the semantics of "key combos":
how they are configured and how they will appear in the global dialog.
