Sounds kind of nice to me. Do you have some other examples? I wonder
how it would be expected to interact with other features:
$("p").bind("click.myplug keydown[keyCode=119].myplug", function ...

maybe a few jquery event shortuts to specific keycodes/ranges of
keycodes, which would provide a meaningful semantic layer, as opposed
to further entrenching the spread of ranges of valid numeric keycodes
into our jquery events
$(...).bind("keydown[enter] keydown[numeric]",fn)
or maybe even simply
$(...).bind("enter",fn);
I'm sure there are better ideas out there for implementation than that
but I think something along these lines might be more useful. Unless
you are proposing a generic method of binding to events after
performing a filter based on a property of the event object, in which
case I still sort of think special keypress helpers might be useful.

I quite like the sound of the keydown[enter] style events. I wonder thought does it have much use outside of key events? I suppose mousedown/up could specify the button that was clicked? The reason I ask is perhaps rather than potentially changing the syntax of the event binding calls you could just create a function like $.fn.key("keycode/regex/complex selector") (or somtehing similar) that would be an event specific to the matching keypress/down/up whatever? Just a thought.

I looked at AOL's AXS library very briefly a while ago and it does
something similar to this. Might be worth glancing over for ideas:

The idea is for this to work for any event property. I can think of a few examples where it could be useful in custom attributes, and obviously in key and mouse events.<div>
</div><div>-- Yehuda

The idea is nice, but I think is quite out of the core's scope.
There're already +1 hotkey plugins and they work nicely.
This syntax could be proposed to these plugins' owners.

I agree with Flesler. jQuery is designed to abstract things such as
this.
I actually do have a plugin that allows a syntax easier than this.
It's name is Keys and you can find it on the jQuery plugin site or at
http://shugartweb.com/jquery/keys.
It allows syntax such as $('input').keys('tab, space + [109]', function
() {
// do something....
});
The above would fire the callback whenever 'tab', or 'space' + key 109
is pressed on any input field.
I really would like some feedback on this plugin and would love if
someone wanted to collaborate on further releases. I wrote it awhile
ago so I am intending to do a code overhaul on it.
Cheers,
Trey

I also want to say, sorry for the poor documentation. It is a site
that I have recently started messing around with and will hopefully
get around to finishing sometime.
In the meantime, if there are any questions, please feel free to
contact me.
