Timo Tijhof 34cbc729db ve.ui.CommandFactory: Initial implementation
Based on https://github.com/ccampbell/mousetrap.

Cleaned up to fit our coding standards, pass JSHint, and assume
jQuery's fixes where possible (e.g. no need for an addEvent
utility, no need for filling e.target, e.which, etc. cross-browser
which jQuery.Event already does).

Initially all were local functions in the constructor, but to
allow some customisations in subclasses moved various methods
to the prototype instead and marked with @private.

Really, only .register() must be called from the outside. The rest
assumes normalisation etc. or might break things if called
incorrectly.

VisualEditor Code Guidelines

We inherit the code structure (about whitespace, naming and comments) conventions from MediaWiki:

Documentation comments

  • End sentences in a full stop.
  • Continue sentences belonging to an annotation on the next line, indented with an additional space.
  • Types in documentation comments should be separated by a pipe character. Use types that are listed in the Types section of this document, otherwise use the identifier (full path from the global scope) of the constructor function (e.g. {ve.dm.BranchNode}).

Annotations

We use the following annotations. They should be used in the order as they are described here for consistency.

  • @class
  • @mixin
  • @abstract
  • @constructor
  • @extends {Type}
  • @private
  • @static
  • @method
  • @until Text: Optional details.
  • @source
  • @context {Type} The type of the this value.
  • @param {Type} varName Optional description.
  • @returns {Type} Optional description.

Types

  • undefined
  • null
  • Infinity
  • NaN

Native language types:
