# `useKeyPress` React UI sensor hook that detects when the user is pressing a specific key on their keyboard. ## Usage ```jsx import {useKeyPress} from 'react-use'; const keys = ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '0']; const Demo = () => { const states = []; for (const key of keys) states.push(useKeyPress(key)[0]); return (
Try pressing numbers
{states.reduce((s, pressed, index) => s + (pressed ? (s ? ' + ' : '') + keys[index] : ''), '')}
); }; ``` ## Examples ```js const isPressed = useKeyPress('a'); const predicate = (event) => event.key === 'a'; const isPressed = useKeyPress(predicate); ```
