Global key events

[ju5t]

I would like to set a variable when '/' is pressed anywhere on a specific page to open a modal. I tried

x-on:keydown.slash

on the root element where AlpineJS is initialised, but it didn't work. I also tried to switch it to escape instead of slash but that didn't trigger it either.

Is this possible or do I want to do something that's not supported yet?

@ju5t If you're listening for a global event, you'll need to use the .window modifier.

That works, thanks for the insanely fast help. Not sure how I missed that in the documentation.
