TanStack
Getting Started

Devtools

TanStack Hotkeys ships devtools for debugging and monitoring your registered hotkeys in real time, as a panel inside the TanStack Devtools multi-panel UI.

Note

By default, TanStack Devtools and the Hotkeys devtools are only included in development mode, so they add nothing to your production bundle. If you need devtools in a production build (say, to debug a production-only issue), use the alternative "production" imports.

Features

The Hotkeys devtools panel lets you:

  • View all currently registered hotkeys with their options and status
  • See which keys are held down in real time
  • Trigger hotkey callbacks for testing, without pressing the keys
  • Inspect individual registrations, including their target, event type, and conflict behavior

Installation

Install the devtools packages for your framework:

React

shell
npm install @tanstack/react-devtools @tanstack/react-hotkeys-devtools

Preact

shell
npm install @tanstack/preact-devtools @tanstack/preact-hotkeys-devtools

Solid

shell
npm install @tanstack/solid-devtools @tanstack/solid-hotkeys-devtools

Vue

shell
npm install @tanstack/vue-hotkeys-devtools

Angular and Lit do not currently ship a dedicated hotkeys devtools adapter.

Setup

React setup

tsx
import { TanStackDevtools } from '@tanstack/react-devtools'
import { hotkeysDevtoolsPlugin } from '@tanstack/react-hotkeys-devtools'

function App() {
  return <TanStackDevtools plugins={[hotkeysDevtoolsPlugin()]} />
}

Preact setup

tsx
import { TanStackDevtools } from '@tanstack/preact-devtools'
import { hotkeysDevtoolsPlugin } from '@tanstack/preact-hotkeys-devtools'

export function App() {
  return <TanStackDevtools plugins={[hotkeysDevtoolsPlugin()]} />
}

Solid setup

tsx
import { TanStackDevtools } from '@tanstack/solid-devtools'
import { hotkeysDevtoolsPlugin } from '@tanstack/solid-hotkeys-devtools'

export function App() {
  return <TanStackDevtools plugins={[hotkeysDevtoolsPlugin()]} />
}

Vue setup

vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { HotkeysDevtoolsPanel } from '@tanstack/vue-hotkeys-devtools'
</script>

<template>
  <AppContent />
  <HotkeysDevtoolsPanel />
</template>

For React, Preact, and Solid, the Hotkeys panel appears alongside any other TanStack devtools plugins you have installed.

Production builds

In production builds, the framework devtools adapters return no-op implementations, so they don't affect your bundle's behavior.

React also exposes a production import for when you explicitly want the plugin in production:

tsx
import { hotkeysDevtoolsPlugin } from '@tanstack/react-hotkeys-devtools/production'
