Javascript - How to create a keypress event?

Question

I\'ve looked on the internet for this and all I can find are depreciated functions so before posting please check to make sure that the code you suggest isn\'t depreciated.

Answer 1

you can use a library called shortcut.js .. here is a link to their source code for downloading: http://www.openjs.com/scripts/events/keyboard_shortcuts/shortcut.js

then run ur code by making this function:

shortcut.add("Ctrl+K",function() {
    alert("Hi there!");
});

and here is the documentation : http://www.openjs.com/scripts/events/keyboard_shortcuts/

hope that can help.
