Sequential key support

I’ve been thinking about adding sequential key support to whenipress.

The idea is that instead of registering a keyboard combo, you register a set of key presses that must be pressed in order. The syntax would look something like this:

whenipress('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g').sequentially().then(e => alert('You know the start of the alphabet!'));

My issue is I don’t know how widely used this would be, and I don’t want to bloat the package with unused features as I’d like it to remain as small as possible. I did think of releasing it as a plugin that works alongside whenipress. Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.

Another use-case for sequences is something like gmail and it’s support for “g i” meaning “Go to Inbox”. It supports other sequences, that’s just the first that comes to mind.

P.S.: I’m not insisting for the feature, just laying out a few usage examples.

Sure! It’s acting weird if you don’t add the .once()'s. The first whenipress shouldn’t have the .once().

whenipress('a').then(e =>  
    whenipress('d').then(e =>  
        whenipress('m').then(e =>  
            whenipress('i').then(e =>  
                whenipress('n').then(e =>  
                    console.log("admin!")  
                ).once()  
            ).once()  
        ).once()  
    ).once()  
)
