Description

I want to make forward slash do something, but since it is used as a divider it does not work. Output is:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of null

When I do this:

jwerty.key('/', function()
{
   console.log('test');
});

Research direction
Investigate jwerty's key parsing logic, likely in jwerty.js, specifically how it splits key sequences. The forward slash may be incorrectly interpreted as a delimiter, causing a null reference when reading a property. Look at the regex or split logic that handles '/' and consider escaping it or treating it as a literal character.
