How to disable Ctrl+U using Javascript - javascript

I just want to disable Ctrl+U and Ctrl+C event. The primary purpose of doing this is, preventing users from downloading any image or copying content from my website easily i.e. pressing Ctrl+U for viewing my webpage's source code or pressing Ctrl+C for copying content directly from my webpage.
Currently, I am using this piece of code but it disables my entire keyboard
<script>
/*function check(e)
{
alert(e.keyCode);
}*/
document.onkeydown = function(e) {
if (e.ctrlKey && (e.keyCode === 67 || e.keyCode === 86 || e.keyCode === 85 || e.keyCode === 117)) {//Alt+c, Alt+v will also be disabled sadly.
alert('not allowed');
}
return false;
};
</script>

Your problem is the return statement.
Though I would suggest you use addEventListener and the like, this is a working copy of your code:
document.onkeydown = function(e) {
if (e.ctrlKey &&
(e.keyCode === 67 ||
e.keyCode === 86 ||
e.keyCode === 85 ||
e.keyCode === 117)) {
alert('not allowed');
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
};

This is finally what I got to disable Ctrl+U:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
document.onkeydown = function(e) {
if (e.ctrlKey &&
(e.keyCode === 67 ||
e.keyCode === 86 ||
e.keyCode === 85 ||
e.keyCode === 117)) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
};
$(document).keypress("u",function(e) {
if(e.ctrlKey)
{
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
});
</script>

Its simple just use the following code it will disable only Ctrl+U while Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+S etc will works fine:
<script>
document.onkeydown = function(e) {
if (e.ctrlKey &&
(e.keyCode === 85 )) {
return false;
}
};
</script>

try check this link from jsfiddle.
js
shortcut.add("Ctrl+U",function(){
alert('Sorry\nNo CTRL+U is allowed. Be creative!')
}),
it will simple show and error when you try to hit Ctrl+U on your keybord
But check the link, there is alot of code

To disable right click
document.addEventListener('contextmenu', event => event.preventDefault());
To disable F12 options
document.onkeypress = function (event) {
event = (event || window.event);
if (event.keyCode == 123) {
return false;
}
}
document.onmousedown = function (event) {
event = (event || window.event);
if (event.keyCode == 123) {
return false;
}
}
document.onkeydown = function (event) {
event = (event || window.event);
if (event.keyCode == 123) {
return false;
}
}
To Disable ctrl+c, ctrl+u
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$(document).keydown(function(event) {
var pressedKey = String.fromCharCode(event.keyCode).toLowerCase();
if (event.ctrlKey && (pressedKey == "c" || pressedKey == "u")) {
alert('Sorry, This Functionality Has Been Disabled!');
//disable key press porcessing
return false;
}
});
});

This will Disable Ctrl + U and Right-click (make sure it's at the top of all your code) :
<!-- Disable CTRL U and Right Click -->
<script>
document.onkeydown = function(e) {
if (e.ctrlKey && e.keyCode === 85) {
return false;
}
};
</script>
<body oncontextmenu="return false;"></body>
<!-- disable CTRL U and Right Click -->

you can use the below script
<script>
/*function check(e)
{
alert(e.keyCode);
}*/
document.onkeydown = function(e) {
if (e.ctrlKey && (e.keyCode === 67 || e.keyCode === 86 || e.keyCode === 85 || e.keyCode === 117 || e.keycode === 17 || e.keycode === 85)) {//ctrl+u Alt+c, Alt+v will also be disabled sadly.
alert('not allowed');
}
return false;
};
</script>

Its simple just use the following code it will disable only Ctrl+U while Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+S etc will works fine: but it will disable your page source too.
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.0/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> $(function () { $(this).bind("contextmenu", function (e) { e.preventDefault(); }); }); </script>
<script>
document.onkeydown = function(e) {
if (e.ctrlKey &&
(e.keyCode === 85 )) {
return false;
}
};
</script>

Javascript - Disable Key Down selectively

My application has a image palette. I am using key board shortcuts to move next and previous images. The following is the code:
window.addEventListener('keydown', function(e) {
if (e.which == 37 || e.which == 65) {
beforeAfterImages(1);
gtfval();
}
if(e.which == 39 || e.which == 68) {
beforeAfterImages(2);
gtfval();
}
})
In the same page, I have a button, that opens a modal window. The modal window has fields for text input. During text input When I press a or d the image palette behind the modal keeps moving. Can I disable the keydown functions, when I open the modal window. I tried the following:
$('#myModal').click(function() {
window.addEventListener('keydown', function(e) {
if (e.which == 37 || e.which == 65) {
return false;
}
if(e.which == 39 || e.which == 68) {
return false;
}
})
});
When you open the modal, you can edit a variable, like var isModalOpen. Then check that everytime the user presses the keys:
window.addEventListener('keydown', function(e) {
if(modalIsOpen) return; // this
if (e.which == 37 || e.which == 65) {
beforeAfterImages(1);
gtfval();
}
if(e.which == 39 || e.which == 68) {
beforeAfterImages(2);
gtfval();
}
})

Disable print screen option in IE,but the code works fine with google chrome

Print screen option has been disabled in Google Chrome with the below js code.
document.onkeydown = keydown;
document.onkeyup = keyup;
function keydown(e) {
console.log("key down triggered");
var keystroke = String.fromCharCode(event.keyCode).toLowerCase();
if (e.keyCode == 44 || e.keyCode == "44" || e.which == 44 || e.which == "44") {
e.cancelBubble = true;
e.preventDefault();
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
}
if (e.ctrlKey && (e.key == "P" || e.key == "C" || e.key == "A" || e.key == "p"||e.key == "c" || e.key == "a" || e.charCode == 16 || e.charCode == 112 ||e.keyCode == 80) || (e.keyCode == 44) || (e.keyCode == 123)) {
//alert("Inspect element & Print &cut/copy option is restricted");
e.cancelBubble = true;
e.preventDefault();
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
}
if (e.keyCode > 111 && e.keyCode < 124) {
//alert("Function option is restricted");
e.cancelBubble = true;
e.preventDefault();
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
}
if (e.key == "F11" || e.key == "f11") {
//alert("Function option is restricted");
e.cancelBubble = true;
e.preventDefault();
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
}
}
function keyup(e) {
debugger;
console.log("key up triggered");
if (e.keyCode == 44 || e.keyCode == "44" || e.which == 44 || e.which =="44") {
e.cancelBubble = true;
e.preventDefault();
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
}
if (e.keyCode > 111 && e.keyCode < 124) {
e.cancelBubble = true;
e.preventDefault();
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
}
if (e.key == "F11" || e.key == "f11") {
//alert("Function option is restricted");
e.cancelBubble = true;
e.preventDefault();
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
}
The above code works fine in Google Chrome.key code 44 for Print screen option is used.In IE all the function keys have been restricted,but the keyup and keydown function is not getting triggered,when in IE browser alone.
What is the alternate way to handle print screen option in IE Browser using jquery.?
And additionally the above code fails to prevent print screen when the user opens a bootbox alert pop up inside a web application.
Suggest a solution for the above 2 scenarios.
Don't.
No matter how clever your code, you can't stop me from focussing a different window on my second monitor and hitting Print Screen there to get a copy of whatever's on-screen that you're trying to stop me from screenshotting.
Or I could just open the browser console (even if you block F12 / Ctrl+Shift+I, I can still get there via the browser's menus) and type document.onkeydown = document.onkeyup = null; and break your entire guard.
It's not often that I "answer" a question by completely shutting it down, but you are wasting your time.

Detect keycode ALT+L via Javascript

I try to detect if a user presses F12 or ALT + L.
document.onkeydown = function (event) {
event = (event || window.event);
if (event.keyCode == 123 || (event.keyCode == 18 && event.keyCode == 76)) {
//do anything
return false;
}
}
What am I doing wrong?
event.keyCode contains only one value. You can use event.altKey do detect if the alt key is pressed.
document.onkeydown = function (event) {
event = (event || window.event);
if (event.keyCode == 123 || (event.keyCode === 76 && event.altKey)) {
//do something
return false;
}
}
The standard way is to create a bool to detect if the 'alt' key is currently held down and then a separate if to detect if that is true and if the L key as just been pressed - see the fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/L4cb9/1
var held = false;
...
else if (event.keyCode == 18) {held = true;}
if (held == true && event.keyCode == 76) {
alert();
}
...
document.onkeyup = function(event) {
if (event.keyCode == 18) {held = false;}
}
This is applicable to holding any combination of keys - you can create an array for multiple key holds greater than two:
held = [];
...
if (event.keyCode == i) {held[i] = true;}
...
and so on

Bind ctrl + u keystroke in jQuery

I am trying to build a hotkey into my web application in jQuery. I am trying to bind the Ctrl+U key stroke. Here is what I have:
$(document).keypress(function(e) {
if(e.ctrlKey && e.which == 117) {
if($("#nav-user-details").length > 0) {
$("#nav-user-details").find(".dropdown-menu").toggle();
}
}
});
This is not working though. How do I bind this key strokes?
Thanks.
Try this please http://jsfiddle.net/TN7GZ/
Press Ctrl+U and the screen will alert.
This will fit your need :)
Code
var isCtrl = false;
document.onkeyup=function(e){
if(e.which == 17) isCtrl=false;
}
document.onkeydown=function(e){
if(e.which == 17) isCtrl=true;
if(e.which == 85 && isCtrl == true) {
//run code for CTRL+U -- ie, whatever!
alert('CTRL + U stuff');
return false;
}
}
​
I’m pretty sure 85 is the keycode for u, or am I missing something?
If you want mac support as well (the command key), it can get messy. I wrote a snippet before that might help you, but it involves browser detections (yuck):
var cmd = false;
$(document).on('keydown', function(e) {
if(detectMacCommand(e.which)) {
cmd = true;
return;
}
// now detect print (ctr/cmd + p)
if ( e.which == 85 && ( e.ctrl || cmd ) ) {
e.preventDefault();
alert('ctrl/cmd + u');
}
}).on('keyup', function(e) {
if(detectMacCommand(e.which)) {
cmd = false;
return;
}
});
function detectMacCommand(key) {
return ( $.browser.mozilla && key == 224 ||
$.browser.opera && key == 17 ||
$.browser.webkit && ( key == 91 || key == 93 ));
}
Demo: http://jsbin.com/afijam/2
$(document).keypress("u",function(e) {
if(e.ctrlKey)
alert("Ctrl+U was pressed!!");
});
You'll have to use keydown instead of keypress. Keypress does not trigger for non-char keys.
$(document).keydown(function (e) {
if (e.ctrlKey && e.which === 81) {
alert("key pressed");
return false;
}
});
Try this:
var prevKey = null;
$(document).keydown(function (e) {
var thisKey = e.which;
if (prevKey && prevKey == 17) {
if (thisKey == 85) {
// Your code.
}
}
prevKey = thisKey;
});
If you are working in a Xhtml file and you get an error The entity must immediately follow the & then you should use &&& instead of &&.

Trapping ctrl+n key combination in chrome

Is there any way to trap ctrl+n key in chrome (by using javascript, jquery or any plugin)? I need to assign ctrl+n+enter key to particular task, but as soon as I press ctrl+n, chrome opens a new window. I am able to trap ctrl+n in firefox by using:
event.preventDefault()
but its not working in chrome.
This may work for your issue.
// defining flags
var isCtrl = false;
var isShift = false;
$(document).ready(function () {
// action on key up
$(document).keyup(function (e) {
if (e.which == 17) {
isCtrl = false;
}
if (e.which == 16) {
isShift = false;
}
});
$(document).keydown(function (e) {
if (e.which == 17) {
isCtrl = true;
}
if (e.which == 16) {
isShift = true;
}
if ((e.which == 110 || e.which == 78) && isCtrl) {
e.preventDefault(true);
}
});
