How can I handle custom keyboard events in Angular?

You can handle custom keyboard events in Angular by using the HostListener decorator to listen for specific key events.

Can you show me an example of using HostListener?

Sure! You can create a component and use @HostListener to listen for keydown events like this:

import { Component, HostListener } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-keyboard-listener',
  template: `<h1>Press any key!</h1>`
})
export class KeyboardListenerComponent {
  @HostListener('document:keydown', ['$event'])
  handleKeyboardEvent(event: KeyboardEvent) {
    console.log('Key pressed:', event.key);
  }
}

What if I want to listen for specific keys only?

You can check the event.key property inside the handleKeyboardEvent method to filter for specific keys. For example:

if (event.key === 'Enter') {
  console.log('Enter key pressed!');
}
