keypress, ctrl+c (or some combo like that)

jquery, jquery-events, keydown, keypress

Solution

Another approach (no plugin needed) is to just use `.ctrlKey` property of the event object that gets passed in. It indicates if Ctrl was pressed at the time of the event, like this:

$(document).keypress("c",function(e) {
  if(e.ctrlKey)
    alert("Ctrl+C was pressed!!");
});

Problem

I'm trying to create shortcuts on the website I'm making. I know I can do it this way: ``` if(e.which == 17) isCtrl=true; if(e.which == 83 && isCtrl == true) { alert('CTRL+S COMBO WAS PRESSED!') //run code for CTRL+S -- ie, save! e.preventDefault(); } ``` But the example below is easier and less code, but it's not a combo keypress event: ``` $(document).keypress("c",function() { alert("Just C was pressed.."); }); ``` So I want to know if by using this second example, I could do something like: ``` $(document).keypress("ctrl+c",function() { alert("Ctrl+C was pressed!!"); }); ``` is this possible? I've tried it and it didn't work, what am I doing wrong?
