Streamlit Shortcuts

Streamlit Shortcuts allows you to easily add keyboard shortcuts to your Streamlit buttons.

Installation

pip install streamlit-shortcuts

Example

import streamlit as st
import streamlit_shortcuts

def delete_callback():
    st.write("DELETED!")

streamlit_shortcuts.button("delete", on_click=delete_callback, shortcut="Ctrl+Shift+X", hint=True)

⭐ NEW in v0.1.5: Support for args and kwargs

import streamlit as st
import streamlit_shortcuts

def delete_callback(item_id, user="anonymous"):
    st.write(f"Item {item_id} DELETED by {user}!")

streamlit_shortcuts.button(
    "Delete",
    shortcut="Ctrl+Shift+X",
    on_click=delete_callback,
    hint=True,
    args=(42,),
    kwargs={"user": "admin"},
    type="primary"
)

This creates a primary Streamlit button labeled "Delete" with the shortcut "Ctrl+Shift+X". When clicked (or activated via shortcut), it calls delete_callback(42, user="admin").

🥱 Old

import streamlit as st
from streamlit_shortcuts import add_keyboard_shortcuts

def delete_callback():
    st.write("DELETED!")

st.button("delete", on_click=delete_callback)

add_keyboard_shortcuts({
    'Ctrl+Shift+X': 'delete',
})

The 'Ctrl+Shift+X' combination will trigger "Another Button".

Versioning

We use semantic versioning. The current version is stored in the VERSION file in the root of the repository.

1. Fork the repository
2. Create a new branch for your feature or bugfix
3. Make your changes
4. Add or update tests as necessary
5. Update the VERSION file if your changes warrant a version bump
6. Submit a pull request

Please make sure to update tests as appropriate and adhere to the existing coding style.

Releasing New Versions

To release a new version:

1. Update the VERSION file with the new version number
2. Commit the change: git commit -am "Bump version to X.Y.Z"
3. Create a new tag: git tag vX.Y.Z
4. Push the changes and the tag: git push && git push --tags

The GitHub Actions workflow will automatically create a new release and publish to PyPI.
