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

$(document).ready(function () {
    var bool = false;
    $(document).keydown(function (e) {
        if (e.keyCode === 17) {
            bool = true;
        }
        if (bool == true && e.keyCode == 75) {
            alert("");
        }
    });
    $(document).keyup(function (e) {
        if (e.keyCode === 17) {
            bool = false;
        }
    });
});

This is how me and a friend got it working
