@ohos.multimodalInput.shortKey (Shortcut Key) (System API)

The shortKey module provides APIs to set the delay for starting an ability using a shortcut key. For example, you can set the delay to 3 seconds so that a screenshot is taken when you press and hold the shortcut key for 3 seconds.

NOTE

The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 10. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

The APIs provided by this module are system APIs.

Modules to Import

import shortKey from '@ohos.multimodalInput.shortKey';

shortKey.setKeyDownDuration

setKeyDownDuration(businessKey: string, delay: number, callback: AsyncCallback<void>): void

Sets the delay for starting an ability using shortcut keys. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

System capability: SystemCapability.MultimodalInput.Input.ShortKey

Parameters

Name	Type	Mandatory	Description
businessKey	string	Yes	Unique service ID registered on the multimodal side. It corresponds to businessId in the ability_launch_config.json file.
delay	number	Yes	Delay for starting an ability using shortcut keys, in milliseconds. This field is invalid only when shortcut keys are used.
callback	AsyncCallback<void>	Yes	Callback used to return the result. If the operation is successful, err is undefined. Otherwise, err is an error object.

Example

import shortKey from '@ohos.multimodalInput.shortKey';
try {
  shortKey.setKeyDownDuration("screenshot", 500, (error) => {
    if (error) {
      console.log(`Set key down duration failed, error: ${JSON.stringify(error, [`code`, `message`])}`);
      return;
    }
    console.log(`Set key down duration success`);
  });
} catch (error) {
  console.log(`Set key down duration failed, error: ${JSON.stringify(error, [`code`, `message`])}`);
}

shortKey.setKeyDownDuration

setKeyDownDuration(businessKey: string, delay: number): Promise<void>

Sets the delay for starting an ability using shortcut keys. This API uses a promise to return the result.

System capability: SystemCapability.MultimodalInput.Input.ShortKey

Parameters

Name	Type	Mandatory	Description
businessKey	string	Yes	Unique service ID registered on the multimodal side. It corresponds to businessId in the ability_launch_config.json file.
delay	number	Yes	Delay for starting an ability using shortcut keys, in milliseconds. This field is invalid only when shortcut keys are used.

Return value

Parameters	Description
Promise<void>	Promise that returns no value.

Example

import shortKey from '@ohos.multimodalInput.shortKey';
try {
  shortKey.setKeyDownDuration("screenshot", 500).then(() => {
    console.log(`Set key down duration success`);
  });
} catch (error) {
  console.log(`Set key down duration failed, error: ${JSON.stringify(error, [`code`, `message`])}`);
}
