Detecting ctrl+f6 from javascript

Question

I am working on an application where I need to detect whether user has pressed ctrl+f6 for certain navigation path. How to capture ctrl+f6 key press event in javascript/jquery?

Answer 1

Hope this helps (source)

$(window).keydown(function(event) {
  if(event.ctrlKey && event.keyCode == 117 ) { //f6 keycode
    console.log("Hey! Ctrl + F6 event captured!");
    event.preventDefault(); 
  }
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Hit Ctrl + F6 to see console log on this event.
