Example

This minimal example adds the keyboard shortcut ctrl + Enter to the example app of shiny::actionButton()

library(shinykeybindings)
## Only run examples in interactive R sessions
if (interactive()) {
  ui <- fluidPage(
    sliderInput("obs", "Number of observations", 0, 1000, 500),
    actionButton("goButton", "Go!", class = "btn-success"),
    plotOutput("distPlot"),

    # keybinding
    kb_click("goButton", key = "Enter", modifier = "ctrl")
  )

  server <- function(input, output) {
    output$distPlot <- renderPlot({
      # Take a dependency on input$goButton. This will run once initially,
      # because the value changes from NULL to 0.
      input$goButton

      # Use isolate() to avoid dependency on input$obs
      dist <- isolate(rnorm(input$obs))
      hist(dist)
    })
  }

  shinyApp(ui, server)
}
