Key extras include vulnerability and deprecation warnings, auto-generated TypeScript docs, automatic @types install commands, a package comparison tool, social likes for gauging popularity, and keyboard shortcuts. Importantly, npmx does not replace npm as a package installer — it only replaces the npm website for browsing and discovering packages. 47 9 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/new-tanstack-hotkeys-library-is-amazing-odxzmdnzo "NEW Tanstack Hotkeys Library is Amazing") Video Web Dev Simplified · 26w NEW Tanstack Hotkeys Library is Amazing TanStack's new hotkey library for React simplifies adding keyboard shortcuts to web apps. The library provides a \`useHotkey\` hook with TypeScript autocomplete and type safety, supporting cross-platform modifier keys (mod key maps to Ctrl on Windows/Linux, Cmd on Mac). Key features covered include: scoping hotkeys to specific DOM elements, enable/disable toggling, conflict behavior options, key sequence hotkeys (Vim-style multi-key combos), \`useHeldKeys\` and \`useKeyHold\` hooks for tracking held keys, and a \`useHotkeyRecorder\` hook for letting users configure their own custom shortcuts. A brief TypeScript template literal type tangent shows how the library achieves its type-safe string autocomplete. 19 2 [See all Web Dev Simplified archives](/sources/wds/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/wds/best-of/2026/03#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/wds/best-of/2026/03","name":"Best Web Dev Simplified Posts — March 2026","description":"The most upvoted Web Dev Simplified posts from March 2026, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/wds/best-of/2026/03#items","numberOfItems":2,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/i-am-done-using-npm-7ejy6zvtd","name":"I Am Done Using NPM"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/new-tanstack-hotkeys-library-is-amazing-odxzmdnzo","name":"NEW Tanstack Hotkeys Library is Amazing"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Web Dev Simplified","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/wds"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/wds/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"March 2026"}]}]} ```
