Ctrl+Enter jQuery in TEXTAREA

Question

How do I trigger something when the cursor is within TEXTAREA and Ctrl+Enter is pressed? Using jQuery. Thanks

Answer 1

first you have to set a flag when Cntr is pressed, do this onkeydown. then you have to check the keydown of enter. unset the flag when you see a keyup for cntrl.

Answer 2

You can use the event.ctrlKey flag to see if the Ctrl key is pressed, something like this:

$('#textareaId').keydown(function (e) {

  if (e.ctrlKey && e.keyCode == 13) {
    // Ctrl-Enter pressed
  }
});

Check the above snippet here.

Answer 3

$('my_text_area').focus(function{ set_focus_flag });

//ctrl on key down set flag

//enter on key down = check focus flag, check ctrl flag
