Question

Is it possible, using JavaScript or jQuery, to perform an action when a user presses a certain key on the keyboard?

For example: User presses down the "A" key and a div changes from hidden to visible

Thanks

Funny-it's the answer you gave, and even called it an answer "Yes it's possible" – Scott Davis Feb 21 '16 at 08:56
That was not an invitation. I also closed as duplicate instead of posting as actual answer. The question was not worth an answer at all. – mplungjan Feb 21 '16 at 08:59

Yes there is a jQuery plugin for just this kind of thing, and also google results are filled with answers.
