Streamlit Shortcuts

Streamlit Shortcuts allows you to easily add keyboard shortcuts to your Streamlit buttons.

Installation

pip install streamlit-shortcuts

Example

⭐ New in v0.1.9:

• More robust logic.
• Simplified usage.
• Bug fixes.
• New example.py for easy testing after pulling (change import path if installed)

Check out the example.py file in the repository for a complete working example. Here's a different snippet:

import streamlit as st
from streamlit_shortcuts import button, add_keyboard_shortcuts

def greet(name):
    st.success(f"Hello, {name}!")

button("Greet", "ctrl+shift+g", greet, hint=True, args=("World",))

# Using a lambda
if button("Click me!", "ctrl+shift+c", lambda: st.success("Button clicked!"), hint=True):
    st.write("Button was clicked")

To run the example, clone the repository and execute:

streamlit run example.py

This will launch a Streamlit app demonstrating various ways to use streamlit-shortcuts.
