@# HotkeysProvider

**HotkeysProvider** generates a React context necessary for the [`useHotkeys` hook](#core/hooks/use-hotkeys)
to maintain state for the globally-accessible hotkeys dialog. As your application runs and components
are mounted/unmounted, global and local hotkeys are registered/unregistered with this context and
the dialog displays/hides the relevant information. You can try it out in the Blueprint docs app
by navigating around and triggering the dialog with the <kbd>?</kbd> key.

@## Usage

<div class="@ns-callout @ns-intent-primary @ns-icon-info-sign @ns-callout-has-body-content">
    <h5 class="@ns-heading">

Consider [**BlueprintProvider**](#core/context/blueprint-provider)

</h5>

**BlueprintProvider** is a new composite React context provider for Blueprint applications which
enables & configures multiple providers automatically and is simpler to use than individual lower-level providers.

</div>

To use **HotkeysProvider**, wrap your application with it at the root level:

```tsx
import { HotkeysProvider } from "@blueprintjs/core";
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom/client";

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root"));

root.render(
    <HotkeysProvider>
        <div>My app has hotkeys 😎</div>
    </HotkeysProvider>,
);
```

@## Advanced usage

**HotkeysProvider** should not be nested, except in special cases. If you have a rendering boundary within your application
through which React context is not preserved (for example, a plugin system which uses `render()`) and you wish
to use hotkeys in a descendant part of the tree below such a boundary, you may render a descendant provider and initialize
it with the root context instance. This ensures that there will only be one "global" hotkeys dialogs in an application
which has multiple **HotkeysProviders**.

```tsx
import { type HotkeyConfig, HotkeysContext, HotkeysProvider, HotkeysTarget } from "@blueprintjs/core";
import React, { useContext, useEffect, useRef } from "react";
import { createRoot } from "react-dom/client";

function App() {
    const appHotkeys: HotkeyConfig[] = [
        {
            combo: "o",
            global: true,
            label: "Open",
            onKeyDown: () => console.info("open"),
        },
    ];

    return (
        <HotkeysProvider>
            <div>
                <HotkeysTarget hotkeys={appHotkeys}>
                    <div>My app has hotkeys 😎</div>
                </HotkeysTarget>
                <PluginSlot>
                    <Plugin />
                </PluginSlot>
            </div>
        </HotkeysProvider>
    );
}

function Plugin() {
    const pluginHotkeys: HotkeyConfig[] = [
        {
            combo: "f",
            global: true,
            label: "Search",
            onKeyDown: () => console.info("search"),
        },
    ];

    return (
        <HotkeysTarget hotkeys={pluginHotkeys}>
            <div>This plugin also has hotkeys</div>
        </HotkeysTarget>
    );
}

function PluginSlot({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
    const hotkeysContext = useContext(HotkeysContext);
    const ref = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);

    useEffect(() => {
        if (ref.current == null) {
            return;
        }
        const root = createRoot(ref.current);
        root.render(<HotkeysProvider value={hotkeysContext}>{children}</HotkeysProvider>);
        return () => {
            root.unmount();
        };
    }, [ref, hotkeysContext, children]);

    return <div ref={ref} />;
}
```
