In my web app I want to use ctrl+alt+c as hotkey.
I read bunch of Stack Overflow articles and came up with below solution
$(document).keydown(function(e){
if(e.ctrlKey && e.altKey && e.which == 99){
e.preventDefault();
window.prompt("Copy to clipboard: Ctrl+C, Enter", text);
}
});
This is not working in chrome. I tried debugging.
What I noticed is as soon as I press ctrl key it goes into function and as if condition fails it is coming out.
How can I get this to work.
There are two mistakes in you code
1st : keycode of c is 67
2nd : text variable is undefined.
So the final code would be
$(document).keydown(function(e){
if(e.ctrlKey && e.altKey && e.which == 67){
e.preventDefault();
prompt("Copy to clipboard: Ctrl+C, Enter","text");
}
});
you can check the fiddle here
Use the event keypress
instead. Example on jsFiddle.
$(document).keypress(function(e)
{
if (e.which == 8354) // ctrl+alt+c
{
e.preventDefault();
console.log("success");
}
else
{
console.log("fail");
}
console.log(e);
});
