Trapping ctrl+n key combination in chrome

Question

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.

*"I am able to trap ctrl+n in firefox by using event.preventDefault() but its not working in chrome."* Always best to show your code, but it's academic in this case: You can't do it, see the other question userD points to. — T.J. Crowder, Apr 02 '12 at 06:40

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);
}
});
