streamich 61700675cd chore: 🤖 don't install only large dependencies
This change removes useCallbag hook, it also reverts back changes for
hooks that only have tiny dependencies or dependencies that could have
been part of the hook itself. Effectivly only KeyboardJS and Rebound are
large packages that only partially are used by react-use, hence require
user to install them separately.

BREAKING CHANGE: 🧨 useCallbag hook is removed, some hooks KeyboardJS and Rebound installed
separately

# `useKeyPress`
React UI sensor hook that detects when the user is pressing a specific
key on their keyboard.
Complex bindings like detecting when multiple keys are held down at the same
time or requiring them to be held down in a specified order are also available
via [KeyboardJS key combos](https://github.com/RobertWHurst/KeyboardJS).
Check its documentation for further details on how to make combo strings.
Requires `keyboardjs`:
```bash
npm add keyboardjs
# or
yarn add keyboardjs
```
## Usage
```jsx
import { useKeyPress } from "react-use";
const Demo = () => {
const hasPressedQ = useKeyPress("q");
const hasPressedW = useKeyPress("w");
const hasPressedE = useKeyPress("e");
const hasPressedR = useKeyPress("r");
const hasPressedT = useKeyPress("t");
const hasPressedY = useKeyPress("y");
const hasPressedWord = useKeyPress("q + w + e + r + t + y", {
useKeyboardJS: true
});
return (
<div>
Try pressing each one of these at a time: <code>Q W E R T Y</code>
{!hasPressedWord && (
<div>
{hasPressedQ && "Q"}
{hasPressedW && "W"}
{hasPressedE && "E"}
{hasPressedR && "R"}
{hasPressedT && "T"}
{hasPressedY && "Y"}
</div>
)}
<div>And now press them all at once!</div>
<div>{hasPressedWord && "Q + W + E + R + T + Y"}</div>
</div>
);
};
```
## Reference
```js
const hasPressedSingleKey = useKeyPress("<key>");
const hasPressedKeyCombo = useKeyPress("<key combo>", {
useKeyboardJS: true
});
```
