Shift + mouseover with jQuery

Question

I\'m trying to detect whether the shift key is being pressed while the cursor is moved over a particular element. The function fires, but only after I click on another

Answer 1

Working sample,

MouseEvent.shiftKey, MouseEvent.ctrlKey

MouseEvent.ctrlKey

MouseEvent.shiftKey

   


    function keypress_test(event) {

             // false, no press, 
             // true, pressed

              console.log(event.ctrlKey)

              console.log(event.shiftKey)
       }
