var genieHki = require('genie-hki')

API

hki = genieHki.load(buffer)

Load hotkeys from a Buffer.

buffer = genieHki.save(hki)

Save hotkeys to a Buffer.

hki.version

Version of the HKI file. 2.0 for recent HD versions, 1.0 otherwise.

hki.groups

Array of hotkey groups.

group = hki.groups[groupId]

Array of hotkeys for a group.

groupId is one of the genieHki.HotkeyGroups constants:

hki.groups[HotkeyGroups.Villager]
// → array of hotkey objects

hotkey = group[hotkeyId]

A hotkey object with properties:

• hotkey.key - vkey ID, you can use the vkey package to get the associated name (like C for id 67)
• hotkey.stringId - string ID of the label for this key (eg 6121 for "Create Villager")
• hotkey.ctrl - whether Ctrl should be pressed to activate this hotkey
• hotkey.shift - whether Shift should be pressed to activate this hotkey
• hotkey.alt - whether Alt should be pressed to activate this hotkey
• hotkey.mouse - whether this is a mouse hotkey, rather than a keyboard one

Index into the array with the appropriate hotkey constants. For example:

var HotkeyGroups = genieHki.HotkeyGroups
var TownCenterHotkeys = genieHki.TownCenterHotkeys
var townCenter = hki.groups[HotkeyGroups.TownCenter]
var createVillager = townCenter[TownCenterHotkeys.CreateVillager]
 
var vkey = require('vkey')
console.log(vkey[createVillager.key])
