How I can detect Key "Enter" on "input" event? [duplicate]

I'm trying to do a function if enter is pressed while on specific input.
What I'm I doing wrong?
$(document).keyup(function (e) {
if ($(".input1").is(":focus") && (e.keyCode == 13)) {
// Do something
}
});
Is there a better way of doing this which would say, if enter pressed on .input1 do function?

$(".input1").on('keyup', function (e) {
if (e.key === 'Enter' || e.keyCode === 13) {
// Do something
}
});
// e.key is the modern way of detecting keys
// e.keyCode is deprecated (left here for for legacy browsers support)
// keyup is not compatible with Jquery select(), Keydown is.

event.key === "Enter"
More recent and much cleaner: use event.key. No more arbitrary number codes!
NOTE: The old properties (.keyCode and .which) are Deprecated.
const node = document.getElementsByClassName("input1")[0];
node.addEventListener("keyup", function(event) {
if (event.key === "Enter") {
// Do work
}
});
Modern style, with lambda and destructuring
node.addEventListener("keyup", ({key}) => {
if (key === "Enter") {
// Do work
}
})
If you must use jQuery:
$(document).keyup(function(event) {
if ($(".input1").is(":focus") && event.key == "Enter") {
// Do work
}
});
Mozilla Docs
Supported Browsers

$(document).keyup(function (e) {
if ($(".input1:focus") && (e.keyCode === 13)) {
alert('ya!')
}
});
Or just bind to the input itself
$('.input1').keyup(function (e) {
if (e.keyCode === 13) {
alert('ya!')
}
});
To figure out which keyCode you need, use the website http://keycode.info

Try this to detect the Enter key pressed in a textbox.
$(function(){
$(".input1").keyup(function (e) {
if (e.which == 13) {
// Enter key pressed
}
});
});

The best way I found is using keydown ( the keyup doesn't work well for me).
Note: I also disabled the form submit because usually when you like to do some actions when pressing Enter Key the only think you do not like is to submit the form :)
$('input').keydown( function( event ) {
if ( event.which === 13 ) {
// Do something
// Disable sending the related form
event.preventDefault();
return false;
}
});

It may be too late to answer this question. But the following code simply prevents the enter key. Just copy and paste should work.
<script type="text/javascript">
function stopRKey(evt) {
var evt = (evt) ? evt : ((event) ? event : null);
var node = (evt.target) ? evt.target : ((evt.srcElement) ? evt.srcElement : null);
if ((evt.keyCode == 13) && (node.type=="text")) {return false;}
}
document.onkeypress = stopRKey;
</script>

The solution that work for me is the following
$("#element").addEventListener("keyup", function(event) {
if (event.key === "Enter") {
// do something
}
});

Try this to detect the Enter key pressed in a textbox.
$(document).on("keypress", "input", function(e){
if(e.which == 13){
alert("Enter key pressed");
}
});
DEMO

A solution that worked for me is this:
<input onkeydown="if (event.key == 'Enter'){//do logic}else{}">

$(document).ready(function () {
$(".input1").keyup(function (e) {
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
// Do something
}
});
});

This code handled every input for me in the whole site. It checks for the ENTER KEY inside an INPUT field and doesn't stop on TEXTAREA or other places.
$(document).on("keydown", "input", function(e){
if(e.which == 13){
event.preventDefault();
return false;
}
});

Here is what I did for my angular project:
HTML:
<input
class="form-control"
[(ngModel)]="searchFirstName"
(keyup)="keyUpEnter($event)"
/>
TypeScript:
keyUpEnter(event: KeyboardEvent) {
if (event.key == 'Enter') {
console.log(event);
}
}

Javascript - How to create a keypress event?

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.
I've found this and tried it:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/KeyboardEvent
$(document).ready(function () {
var x = new KeyboardEvent("FormatCode", deprectiatedArgument);
});
But after further inspection the KeyboardEventInit is depreciated.
I would like to create an event on pres of the CTRL + K keys.

You have a specific key code for every button on the keyboard.
All of them are here http://keycode.info/.
$(document).keyup(function(e) {
if (e.keyCode === 13) function(); // enter
if (e.keyCode === 27) function(); // esc
});

Here's a vanilla JS solution to detect a CTRL + k keypress event:
UPDATED to also trigger the event.
document.addEventListener("keypress", function(e) {
if ((e.ctrlKey || e.metaKey) && (e.keyCode == 11 || e.keyCode == 75)) {
alert("ctrl+k!");
}
});
document.getElementById("trigger").addEventListener("click", function(){
//trigger a keypress event...
var e = document.createEvent('HTMLEvents');
e.initEvent("keypress", false, true);
e.ctrlKey = true;
e.keyCode = 75;
document.dispatchEvent(e);
});
Press <kbd>ctrl+k</kbd> or
trigger the event

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.

$(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

having problems binding javascript to a submit button

I'm having a problem binding this script to a submit button...
$('input').on('keydown', function(event) {
var x = event.which;
if (x === 13) {
event.preventDefault();
}
});
I've done it before but it's been a long time and the examples on the web are not doing it for me. Thanks :)

jQuery(function($) { // DOM is now ready
// your code here
});
should do the trick.
https://learn.jquery.com/using-jquery-core/document-ready/

$(document).ready(function(){
$('input').on('keydown', function(e) {
if (e.keyCode == 13 || e.which == 13) {
e.preventDefault();
}
});
})
Please try this

or you can try this code by using IIFE
(function($) {
$('input').on('keydown', function(e) {
if (e.keyCode == 13 || e.which == 13) {
e.preventDefault();
}
});
})(jQuery);

How to trigger arrowkey presses in Chrome?

In chrome(windows), I can capture keypresses on characters, but not on the arrowkeys. See sample-code below:
$('body').on('keypress', function(e) {
console.log('Only works on charcters, in chrome')
})
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
How can I capture arrow-key-presses?

Try changing keypress to keyup:
$('body').on('keyup', function(e) {
console.log('Works on everything :)')
})
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

I think keydown is working fine
$('body').on('keydown', function(e) {
console.log('Only works on charcters, in chrome')
});
Fiddle

I really like this module for key press triggers:
https://github.com/madrobby/keymaster
It really reduces the amount of boilerplate code you need to write when working with key presses.
// define short of 'down'
key('down', function(){ alert('you pressed down') });

How can I capture arrow-key-presses?
Use e.keyCode to detect which key is pressed.
Like this :
$('body').on('keyup', function(e) {
if (e.keyCode == '38') {
alert("up arrow");
}
else if (e.keyCode == '40') {
alert("down arrow");
}
else if (e.keyCode == '37') {
alert("left arrow");
}
else if (e.keyCode == '39') {
alert("right arrow");
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

javascript avoid enter key press

I'm trying to detect an Enter key press event when a button has been clicked.
I'm new in javascript and don't know the good way to go...
HTML:
<div id="div"> Only execute javascript on click, not enter key press </div>
JAVASCRIPT:
$("#div").click(function () {
/* IF ENTER KEY PRESSED, RETURN FALSE */
$("#div").keypress(
function(event){
if (event.which == '13') {
event.preventDefault();
alert('clicked');
}
});
/* Div has been clicked, continue code... */
});
This doesn't work...
Maybe there is a better way:
$("#div").MOUSE_CLICK_EVENT(function () {});

You need to stopPropagation like:
$('#div').keydown(function(event){
if (event.which == '13') {
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
}
});
stopPropagation: Prevents the event from bubbling up the DOM tree, preventing any parent handlers from being notified of the event.

As others have noted, you need stopPropagation in addition to preventDefault, and you should be listening for the keydown event rather than keypress.
The pure JavaScript way to do this is:
document.getElementById('div').onkeydown = function (evt) {
if (evt.which === 13) {
evt.preventDefault();
evt.stopPropagation();
return false;
}
};
document.getElementById('div').onclick = function (evt) {
// do whatever you want here
};

try this if still needs anybody. Quick solution.
$("form").keypress(function(e) {
//Enter key
if (e.which == 13) {
return false;
}
});

Also you need to consider 3 key events: keydown, keypress and keyup.
$("#ID").keydown (function (e) {
if ( e.key == 'Enter') {
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
return false;
}
});
$("#ID").keyup (function (e) {
if (e.key == 'Enter') {
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
return false;
}
});
$("#ID").keypress (function (e) {
if (e.key == 'Enter') {
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
return false;
}
});
