How do you use Keypress package with Meteor?

Question

I'm trying to use keypress.js with meteor so that anytime i press a letter I am getting that letter displayed.

Template.letters.events({
var listener = new Keypress.Listener();
Session.set("letter", Session.get("listener") + 1);
}

});

I'm pretty sure this is not how I am suppose to do this..any help would be appreciated

You don't really need Keypress.js for this. Seems like that library is for detecting specific, complex key combinations. You should be able to do this:

$(window).keypress(function(e) {
  Session.set('letter', String.fromCharCode(e.which));
});
