There's a way to manage Ctrl+click? Thank you

Great code! One question, what about combining accelerator keys? (Shift+Crtl+A, Alt+Shift+K, etc.)

Answering my own question, Ctrl+Shift+, etc. all seem to work for me now. They didn't when I first tried it ....

I'm having troubles in IE only (works in Safari, Firefox):

I test for $(this).attr("onclick"), and if so add function () {$(this).click();}

Works great in Firefox and follows the preexisting onclick javascript, but doesn't in IE. Anybody else seeing this?

can this plugin help with manage "Shift+click"?? it's need for multyple selection in list (select some item set, how it's works in windows).

thx.

Works great, except that, if i have the focus in a text box, i get an error saying Error: that.allelement? has no properties Source File: scripts/jquery.hotkeys.js Line: 78 Am i doing something wrong? Is it possible to get over this? Thanks

Works great. Can't use the backspace key without going back a page though (firefox/win). Works in the demo, just not on my screen.. I must be missing sthg.

Hi!

How can i make a toggle effect? For example. Shift+1 -> div->display: none; shift+1 again div->display: block;

Hi! For the number pad, I temporary fixed this problem adding the next code in the variable: 'this.special_keys' in the jquery.hotkeys.js

this.special_keys = {......., 96:'n0', 97:'n1', 98:'n2', 99:'n3', 100:'n4',101:'n5',102:'n6',103:'n7',104:'n8',105:'n9',........};

the keycodes 96 to 105 are the number pad keycodes. For use this solution,

jQuery.hotkeys.add('n0',function (){ /YOUR CODE/}); //For 0 in the number pad. jQuery.hotkeys.add('n1',function (){ /YOUR CODE/}); //For 1 in the number pad.

It works in my Iceweasel (Firefox). I hope it will help someone.

Hu! I've implemented Command key support for mac. I don't think that people would use combinations like "Command+a" but today the plugin is "stealing" the command key (if I bind "C", then Command+C stops working.

Hope it helps: Lines 65:74

var code = event.which,
                type = event.type,
                character = String.fromCharCode(code).toLowerCase(),
                special = that.special_keys[code],
                shift = event.shiftKey,
                ctrl = event.ctrlKey,
                alt= event.altKey,
		cmd= e.metaKey,
                propagate = true, // default behaivour
                mapPoint = null;

Line 86:

            if(!shift && !ctrl && !alt && !cmd) { // No Modifiers

Line 95:

         if(cmd) modif += 'command+';

@rafudu Thank you! That was driving me crazy.

It might be worth starting a comprehensive list of keys that can be safely captured on the various platforms -- or if anyone knows of such a thing that exists, link to it. I've wasted quite some time trying out keys in the various browsers, and it seems that most obvious key combos have at least one browser irrevocably binding them. In CodeMirror I'm capturing tab, ctrl-y, ctrl-z on all browsers except Safari, where I bind ctrl-backspace to undo, ctrl-and , and ctrl-enter.

Anyone tested this with jQuery 1.2.6?

seems to work fine in jquery 1.2.6 (we're using on a web site and with in Adobe AIR 1.1)

I want to bind different F1 functions to separate elements on the page. It only seems to want to bind to one.

$.hotkeys.add('f1',{target:$('#text1')[0]}, function(){alert('text1');});
$.hotkeys.add('f1',{target:$('#text2')[0]}, function(){alert('text2');});

F1 only works in #text1, but shows text2 alert message. What's the point of the target if the hotkey can only be bound once? Am I missing something?

Just a comment to say thanks for putting this up! It really short-cut the work on a troublesome page I'm doing.

Is it possible to simply cycle different functions with a single same key?

Line 71: "alt = event.altKey," does not appear to work correctly in jQuery 1.2.6.

I'm using IE7/Windows and it always returns "undefined". However, in jQuery 1.2.2, it worked correctly.

OK, I found the solution to the "altKey" problem.

Change line 71 from: "alt = event.altKey," to:

alt = event.originalEvent.altKey,

var selectorId = ((this.prevObject && this.prevObject.query)

(this0?.id && this0?.id) || this0?).toString();

Using this code is not quite safe as this.prevObject (which should be this.end() ) returns the selector from only the last method of the chain. And many jQuery methods (not, filter, add,...) use the internal pushStack method that returns a new jQuery object and saves the former to this.prevObject. But in the next version of jQuery there will be 'Internal Selector State Tracking' which is I think is just what you want: http://docs.jquery.com/JQuery_1.3_Roadmap

I try this with the target is text input, but it doesn't work :

$.hotkeys.add('Ctrl+f', {target:$('#date')}, function (){
	$("#panel_search").fadeIn("slow");
});

or I miss something?

@xundertanktop, What version are you using? Try the latest (0.7.7) Note the with the new api it would be:

$('#date').bind('keydown', 'Ctrl+f', function(){$("#panel_search").fadeIn("slow");
});

planning to add this feature as it is a standard in jQuery which uses this.pushStack and let you bind many funciton to the same event at the same target.

expect it with in few days from now.

It is possible now - check out version 0.7.8.

Will it ever be able to capture PrintScreen? ?!?

I've written a library that does basically the opposite of shortcut.js. Instead of taking a key description string and binding an event handler, it takes a keyboard event and outputs a string suitable for shortcut.js event binding:

http://jonathan.tang.name/code/js_keycode

It may be useful if you want to allow users to specify their own hotkeys with a keypress, and save those keys for later event binding.

Opera 9.62 does not always set event.crtlKey. When in a form field event.ctrlKey is always false. The Ctrl key does generate proper event.keyCode properties of '17'. This applies to the other modifier keys, as well. Firefox and Epiphnany work just fine as is. But for true portability, the code really must keep track of the keyup and keydown events from the modifier keys.

Hi, nice plugin! One problem, the following is not working in IE6/7: $('input').bind('keydown', 'return', function() { alert('test'); });

Although if I do $(document).bind... it works. Tested on version 0.7.8.

"Or (Opera/Safari) will not pass those events to the DOM at all."

Is there any way to get around this? Like, say suppressing the 'save as' window in opera for a ctrl+s?

ctrl + click would be nice...

I want execute set of statement on two even for example click or shortcut keys how I can I achieve that ?

click or Ctrl+s { do this; }

Nice plug-in! My ergo buddies will love this :)

One question/help needed:

Code Sample

`$(document).ready(function(){

$(document).bind('keydown', {combi:'Ctrl+e',disableinInput: true},function(){ExpandAll?();});

Issue

The "disableinInput" isn't actually disabling my hotkey (e.g.ctrl+e). Is there any issue with my implementation?

P.S. Browser is IE6/7

the example above has a typo: 'disableinInput' should be 'disableInInput'

I spent hours trying to get this to work. The documentation needs to be updated with the spelling fix "disableInInput" as commented by chunzi.

Otherwise, great work.

Works great! I am now using it in a pirate game I am working on http://constantsail.com .

Thanks! Rob

Has anyone used this plugin with ASP.NET 3.5? When it is included on a normal aspx page, eg one with <form runat="server">, pressing the "Enter" key in a text box is still generating a postback. It is definitely coded in correctly.

Thanks, Mike

There's a small typo in "Options", the "i" ("in") in "disableinInput" should be uppercased ;-)

I have a textarea for the chat, I've added a shortcut for enter to send a message. But the new line gets into the text field. how can I say not to write new line into textarea?

Great plug-in... but if i add the following keys to your demo they don't work...

... jQuery(document).bind('keydown', ';',function (evt){jQuery('#other1').addClass('dirty'); return false; }); jQuery(document).bind('keydown', ':',function (evt){jQuery('#other2').addClass('dirty'); return false; }); ...

... <div id="_other1" class="eventNotifier">;</div> <div id="_other2" class="eventNotifier">:</div> ...

Unless there is something I am doing wrong I think you need to add some more keys to your test case (i.e. ';', ':', etc).

Hi!

Is it possible to bind several keys to one action at once? I mean something like

$(document).bind('keydown', '1,2,3', function(){ alert('It works!'); });

Nice plugin by the way!

Is $(document).bind( "keydown", "a+a", fn ); supported? //press 'a' twice

Great job though!

Great job.

Great job, I have a problem though.. The disableInInput works in half. I doesnt fire the function, but it doesnt print the letter in input either...

This is realy great for webapplications! is there a way to get it to work with the jquery toggle function.

for example if i hit the f2 button a div wil appear and if i hit it again the div will disappear?

Great plugin, but i have one question. Is there any way of assigning my function to "ctrl+f" in Safari?

plain

$(document).bind(key_event, 'ctrl+f', function (evt) {

if($.browser.msie) {

event.keyCode = 0; event.returnValue = false;

event.cancelBubble = true;

}

else {

evt.stopPropagation(); evt.preventDefault();

} myfunction();

Guys, i really need help with Safari. Also preventDefault doesn't stop the default Safari's ctrl+p function.

Also, is there any way of assigning ctrl +/ ctrl - keys to user functions and preventing the default zooming?

Is there a way to enter the Konami Code with this plugin? Example (in order): up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a

Hi All. Can I associate 3 key combinations (Ctrl+q+c)? I'm creating hotkey for menu and say the above combination is for Quote -> Create. I tried a lot but it doesn't works. Please suggest. It would be a great help.

right button click mouse?

So, everybody knows nothing about Safari? great. what about ctrl+/- is it possible at all? also Opera's alt + arrows =)

Hi,

here is my code :

for (i = 1; i <= 9; i++) {
	$(document).bind('keydown', 
		{combi : i+'',
		disableInInput : true
		}, function(evt) {
		// my function 
		return false;
	});
}

I want disable the hotkeys on my input with disableHotkeys css class.

I try this code :

$('input.disableHotkeys').unbind('keydown', 
	{combi : ''+i,
	disableInInput : false
	}, function(){});

but it does'nt work.

Could you help me please?

Thx,

Nicolas

can not unbind "Ctrl+(any)" "Shift+(any)" ,but can unbind "a","b" or any single key. why?

my testing code, can not unbind the function:

function han(){

alert(1);

} function bindhotkeys(){

$(document).bind("keydown", "Shift+a",function(){han(); return false;});

} function unbindhotkeys(){

$(document).unbind("keydown", "Shift+a",function(){han(); return false;});

}

but this can work

	function han(){
		alert(1);
	}
	function bindhotkeys(){
		$(document).bind("keydown", "a",function(){han(); return false;});
	}
	function unbindhotkeys(){
		$(document).unbind("keydown", "a",function(){han(); return false;});
	}
