How to watch for a keypress combination in Angularjs? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Looks like you can use the ng-keydown to do this.

Here is a working plunker.

For this sample, I just bound ng-keydown to . Works pretty well to catch all the keyboard events globally.

As @charlietfl points out, ng-keydown registers a lot of keyboard events so to make this usable would be a lot of work. For example, if you were trying to listen for a combination (like ctrl + r), then the ctrl key will register many times.

JS:

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);

myApp.controller('Ctrl', function($scope) {


    $scope.keyBuffer = [];

    function arrays_equal(a,b) { return !(a
