/**
* Keystroke handler allows registering callbacks for given keystrokes.
*
* The most frequent use of this class is through the {@link module:core/editor/editor~Editor#keystrokes `editor.keystrokes`}
* property. It allows listening to keystrokes executed in the editing view:
*
* editor.keystrokes.set( 'Ctrl+A', ( keyEvtData, cancel ) => {
* console.log( 'Ctrl+A has been pressed' );
* cancel();
* } );
*
* However, this utility class can be used in various part of the UI. For instance, a certain {@link module:ui/view~View}
* can use it like this:
*
* class MyView extends View {
* constructor() {
* this.keystrokes = new KeystrokeHandler();
*
* this.keystrokes.set( 'tab', handleTabKey );
* }
*
* render() {
* super.render();
*
* this.keystrokes.listenTo( this.element );
* }
* }
*
* That keystroke handler will listen to `keydown` events fired in this view's main element.
*

//
// E.g. all the keystrokes with the `keyCode` of 42 coming from the `emitter` are propagated
// as a `_keydown:42` event by the `_listener`. If there's a callback created by the `set`
// method for this 42 keystroke, it listens to the `_listener#_keydown:42` event only and interacts
// only with other listeners of this particular event, thus making it possible to prioritize
// the listeners and safely cancel execution, when needed. Instead of duplicating the Emitter logic,
// the KeystrokeHandler reāuses it to do its job.
