Menu
I need to determine when a user presses cmd+enter after typing a text into a textarea. I'm using jquery.
Here's what I tried:
<textarea id="checkMetaKey"></textarea>
<div id="display"></div>
$( "#checkMetaKey" ).keyup(function( event ) {
$( "#display" ).text(event.metaKey + " " + event.keyCode);
});
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/WQG2b/
I would expect that to display "true 13" when cmd+enter is clicked. It's not the case however.
The only way I can get metaKey to be true is when I click CMD only or CMD+ALT or CMD+CTRL.
How do I capture a CMD+ENTER event?
Similar functionality seems to be working when I try it on Facebook, I'm able to submit message text using CMD+ENTER.

The “enter” key is represent by code “13”, check this ASCII charts. To check if an “enter” key is pressed inside a textbox, just bind the keypress() to the textbox. $('#textbox').
To trigger a click button on ENTER key, We can use any of the keyup(), keydown() and keypress() events of jQuery. keyup(): This event occurs when a keyboard key is released. The method either triggers the keyup event, or to run a function when a keyup event occurs.
And the following JavaScript code to detect whether the Enter key is pressed: const input = document. querySelector("input"); input. addEventListener("keyup", (event) => { if (event.
Use keydown. Also you should compare event.keyCode == 13
$("#checkMetaKey").keydown(function (event) {
$("#display").text((event.metaKey || event.ctrlKey) && event.keyCode == 13);
});
$("#checkMetaKey").keydown(function (event) {
$("#display").text((event.metaKey || event.ctrlKey) && event.keyCode == 13);
