I see some similar questions here (like JavaScript: Check if CTRL button was pressed) but my problem is actually the event triggering. My js code:
// Listen to keyboard.
window.onkeypress = listenToTheKey;
window.onkeyup = listenToKeyUp;
/*
Gets the key pressed and send a request to the associated function
@input key
*/
function listenToTheKey(e)
{
if (editFlag == 0)
{
// If delete key is pressed calls delete
if (e.keyCode == 46)
deleteNode();
// If insert key is pressed calls add blank
if (e.keyCode == 45)
createBlank();
if (e.keyCode == 17)
ctrlFlag = 1;
}
}
The event triggers for any other keys except the ctrl.
I need to also trigger it for ctrl.
I can't use jQuery/prototype/whatever so those solutions are not acceptable.
So... how can I detect the ctrl?
Try using if (e.ctrlKey)
.
