# Devtools

TanStack Hotkeys ships devtools for debugging and monitoring your registered hotkeys in real time, as a panel inside the [TanStack Devtools](https://tanstack.com/devtools) multi-panel UI.

> [!NOTE]
> The Hotkeys devtools exports are no-ops outside development mode. See [Production builds](#production-builds) if you need them in production.

## Features

The Hotkeys devtools panel lets you:

- View all currently registered hotkeys, chords and sequences in one list, with their options and status
- Follow sequence progress as steps are pressed
- See declared [app hotkeys](./overview#app-hotkeys) that nothing has registered yet, with their custom hotkeys
- 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 TanStack Devtools host package and the Hotkeys devtools adapter for your framework.

```sh
npm install @tanstack/vue-hotkeys-devtools
```

## Setup

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

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

## Standalone panel

The `HotkeysDevtoolsPanel` component in the setup above is the standalone panel.

## Production builds

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

To include the devtools in a production build, import from the production entry point:

```ts
import { HotkeysDevtoolsPanel } from '@tanstack/vue-hotkeys-devtools/production'
```
