kbd-iced

kbd bridge for iced — converts key events and modifiers to kbd types.

This lets GUI key events (from iced) and global hotkey events (from kbd-global) feed into the same Dispatcher. Useful in iced apps that want both in-window shortcuts and system-wide hotkeys handled through a single hotkey registry.

Iced defines its own W3C-derived key types: key::Code for physical key positions and key::Physical wrapping Code with an unidentified fallback. This crate only converts physical keys — they are layout-independent and match kbd's model.

kbd = "0.1"
kbd-iced = "0.1"

Extension traits

IcedKeyExt — converts an iced key::Code or key::Physical to a kbd::Key
IcedModifiersExt — converts iced Modifiers to a Vec<Modifier>
IcedEventExt — converts an iced keyboard Event to a kbd::Hotkey

Usage

use iced_core::keyboard::{key::Code, Modifiers};
use kbd::prelude::*;
use kbd_iced::{IcedKeyExt, IcedModifiersExt};

let key = Code::KeyA.to_key();
assert_eq!(key, Some(Key::A));

let mods = Modifiers::CTRL.to_modifiers();
assert_eq!(mods, vec![Modifier::Ctrl]);
