Trying to map F1 key to trigger button action

F1 key has code 112

Tried

$(document).keyup(function(event) {
    if (event.keyCode == 112) {
        $("#next action-button").click();
    }
});

But it opens Chrome Help page.

Use `.on("keydown"` and you need to cancel the event too: `$(document).on("keydown", (e) => { if (e.key === "F1") { e.preventDefault(); $("#next action-button").click(); }); });` – mplungjan Aug 16 '23 at 14:30
Worked, please write it as an answer – Jessica Kimble Aug 16 '23 at 14:35
Not necessary. It was an easily found dupe. – mplungjan Aug 16 '23 at 15:19
