I've used hammer.js professionally. It's small, reliable, and provides useful things like deltas. It also pairs great with mousetrap (https://github.com/ccampbell/mousetrap) for keyboard interaction. Would recommend.

This looks like https://github.com/ccampbell/mousetrap I'm much more fond of the implicit syntax of mousetrap though.

Another javascript library to handle keyboard combos is Mousetrap. Compared to the latter I like the way Keypress handle multiple combos declaration, but overall mousetrap seems more robust. Also it's not clear to me how Keypress differentiate (if it does so) among a sequence of keys or a combinations. Mousetrap is using the + notation to handle that so you can declare different bindings for combinations 'command+shift+k' and sequences 'command shift k'. https://github.com/ccampbell/mousetrap

Possibly one of these will be useful: https://github.com/madrobby/keymaster https://github.com/ccampbell/mousetrap

I wonder if this is related to https://github.com/ccampbell/mousetrap/issues/6 In which case it should be a pretty painless fix.
