How to detect a keypress AND a mouseover at the same time

Question

Okay so I can detect a mouseover using .on('mouseover')

and I can detect keypresses using

$(document).keypress(function(e) {
        console.log(e.which);
}

but how do I detect which image my mouse is hovering over when I press a certain button?

the idea is to be able to delete an image by pressing d while hovering over it. any ideas ?

Answer 1

You can just toggle a class or data-attribute that shows you which one is currently being hovered

$('img').hover(function(){
   $(this).toggleClass('active'); // if hovered then it has class active
});
$(document).keypress(function(e) {    
    if(e.which == 100){
       $('.active').remove(); // if d is pressed then remove active image
    }
});
