how to attach hotkey to action button in a form?

[chr1soscl]

I have a form which has buttons that call some actions on click, it gathers the event information which I use to save or perform other actions, I would like to use the hotkey as a button click, basically activate the click with a hotkey. this is a question.

If you bind a method to the button-click:

<button (click)="doSomething()">

Then you could just call the same method when the hotkey is pressed:

this._hotkeysService.add(new Hotkey('shift+g', (event: KeyboardEvent): boolean => {
        doSomething();
        return false; // Prevent bubbling
    }));

Would that be sufficient to achieve what you want to do? Otherwise you could probably give your button a handle:

<button #myButton>

And I believe you will then be able to trigger an actual clickevent by in your hotkey method do something like myButton.click() (haven't tested it, but I think something along those lines would work).
