I know this is not the best thing to do in view of accessibility, but I have a genuine need to disable the user from zooming onto the page using CTRL+ in IE7.
I got it working for the other browsers the following way, but IE7 seems to ignore the "return false":
$(window).keydown(function (e) {
alert('key is down'); // this fires
return false; // but this has no effect in IE7!
});
This is better and correct way:
$(document).ready(function() {
var ctrl = false;
$(document).keydown(function(e){
// disable ctrl + +/-
if(ctrl && (e.keyCode == 107 || e.keyCode == 109)) {
alert('Zoom is disabled!');
return false;
}
if(e.keyCode == 17) {
ctrl = true;
// disable ctrl + scroll
$(document).bind('scroll', function() {
if(ctrl) {
alert('Zoom is disabled!');
return false;
}
});
}
})
$(document).keyup(function(e) {
if(e.keyCode == 17) {
ctrl = false;
$(document).unbind('scroll');
}
});
});
Try attaching keydown to document instead:
$(document).keydown(function (e) {
alert('key is down');
return false;
});
This is pointless if the end user's browser already has the zoom set before visiting your page.
simple answer. for IE, you need Event.stop(e); instead of return false;
I don't have IE7 to test on ATM but this should do it
$(window).keydown(function (e) {
alert('key is down'); // this fires
e.preventDefault(); // This is a standard jQuery way of
// preventing the default action
return false; // Therefore you shouldn't need this.
});

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
I want to prevent the default event on key #93 (select, between alt gr and ctrl right on AZERTY keyboard).
This key open context menu like right click.
I tried :
$(document).off('keydown');
$(document).off('keyup');
$(document).off('keypress');
$(document).on('keypress', function(e){
if(e.keyCode == 93)
{
e.preventDefault();
return false;
}
});
$(document).on('keyup', function(e){
if(e.keyCode == 93)
{
e.preventDefault();
return false;
}
});
$(document).on('keydown', function(e){
if(e.keyCode == 93)
{
e.preventDefault();
return false;
}
});
Nothing works... I have always the contextmenu.
After checking for a while, I've been headed to another question similar to this one, but with a very different matter.
In any case, since the problem is the context menu, you don't even need jQuery for such, and the solution (despite it WON'T always work in firefox because the user may set it to disable such) is this one:
document.oncontextmenu = function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
return false;
}
fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/0kkm1vq0/3/
Works on chrome as well, and you won't need to use the keyboard listeners.
Reference: How to disable right-click context-menu in javascript
(which is really the same as key #93).
** note that this will disable the right click too **.
EDIT:
Not sure if this is cross-browser (the UPDATED code below seems to be working for both chrome and firefox, didn't try IE and others though), but the event fired by key #97 seems to be identified as 1, while the click seems to be identified as key 3, so you can just:
(function($){
if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('chrome') > -1) {
$(document).on('keyup', function(e) {
e.which == 93 && e.preventDefault();
});
}
else {
document.oncontextmenu = function (e) {
e.which == 1 && e.preventDefault();
}
}
})(jQuery);
http://jsfiddle.net/0kkm1vq0/10/
To disable JUST the key and not the right click.
I have to use javascript to make links instead of for several unimportant reasons, and I want for it to behave like even though im not using it. Not the affects thats easy, but I want to be able to hold down shift while clicking to open a new window and to open it in a new tab if they are holding down ctrl. How would I do this? Also, it has to be compatible with IE9.

I guess you want something like this:
JSFiddle

JavaScript
var ctrlPressed = false;
$('#link').click(function () {
var link = 'http://stackoverflow.com/';
if (ctrlPressed) {
window.open(link,'_blank');
} else {
window.location = link;
}
return false;
});
$(document).keydown(function (e) {
if (e.keyCode === 17) {
ctrlPressed = true;
}
});
$(document).keyup(function (e) {
if (e.keyCode === 17) {
ctrlPressed = false;
}
});

<span id="link">Link to stackoverflow</span>

Bind a keystroke event listener to window or document and use it's callback function to do whatever you need.
If you use jquery, its a bit easier to make a more reliable keystroke listener, imho. http://blog.cnizz.com/2008/10/27/javascript-key-listener/
So, this is what you want: http://jsfiddle.net/DerekL/V8yzF/show
$("a").click(function(ev) {
if (ev.ctrlKey) { //If ctrl
window.open(this.attr("href"));
retrun false;
} else if (ev.shiftKey) { //If shift
window.open(this.attr("href"),"_blank", "width=400,height=300");
retrun false;
} else { //If nothing
//do nothing
}
});
i try to bind an event to done action on soft keyboard tell mode.
but i can't catch any event.
i tried use keyup/ keydown, blur and change events.
nothing happened in iPhone and android.
$("input").bind('keyup', function(event){
var key;
if(window.event)
key = window.event.keyCode;
else
key = event.which;
if(key == 13 || key == 10){
alert(key);
}
});
$("input").bind('blur', function(event){
alert("blur");
});
$("input").bind('change', function(event){
alert("change");
});
Any solution?
You are missing a close } after the one if.
Also, maybe the selector you are using $('input') is too broad try something specific, i use somelike like this:
$('#element_id').live('keypress',function(e){
console.log('keypress: '+e.keyCode);
if (e.keyCode != 13) {
console.log('is not an enter key');
}
else {
console.log('is an enter key going to submit');
Fling.poo();
return false;
}
});
$(document).keydown(function (e) {
if (e.keyCode == 83 && (navigator.platform.match("Mac") ? e.metaKey : e.ctrlKey)) {
function_which_does_a_lot_including_ajax_calls();
return false;
}
});
I'm trying to call a method on control+S, and, the call to function_which_does_a_lot_including_ajax_calls() stops the code from reaching the "return false" in time, which means that the browser prompts the default "Do you want to save this website" window.
If I change it to simply:
$(document).keydown(function (e) {
if (e.keyCode == 83 && (navigator.platform.match("Mac") ? e.metaKey : e.ctrlKey)) {
// function_which_does_a_lot_including_ajax_calls();
return false;
}
});
... the return false is triggered, and nothing happens (no default prompt).
Is there a way I can do a lot of stuff, but still return false so that the browser does not do its default behavior? Thanks!
Use e.preventDefault() to prevents browser's default behaviour (similar to return false).
Example:
$(document).keydown(function (e) {
if (condition_says_NO_to_default) {
e.preventDefault();
.... //Rest of code
Update: Alternative method. The code below maintains the scope, this and event object reference, while the return false statement is processed first:
$(document).keydown(function (e) {
var $this = this; //Save reference for later
setTimeout(function(){
(function(event){
//Your code here
}).call($this, e);
}, 1); // An extremely low timeout.
return false;
});
I'm not sure I understand the behaviour you described but you can try something like:
$(document).keydown(function (e) {
if (e.keyCode == 83 && (navigator.platform.match("Mac") ? e.metaKey : e.ctrlKey)) {
setTimeout(function_which_does_a_lot_including_ajax_calls, 100);
return false;
}
});
