JavaScript: Check if CTRL button was pressed

Question

I need to check if the CTRL button was pressed while I am clicking on a control on my html page using JavaScript.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

Try looking in the event object.

e.g.

document.body.onclick = function (e) {     if (e.ctrlKey) {        alert("ctr key was pressed during the click");     }  }

<p>Click me, and sometimes hold CTRL down!</p>
