JavaScript or jQuery event handlers for "Ctrl"/"Shift" + mouse left button click

Question

Is it possible to handle such events as:

• Ctrl + mouse left button click;
• Shift + mouse left button click;
• Alt + mouse left button click by using JavaScript, jQuery or other framework.

If it is possible, please give a code example for it.

Answer 1

You can do something like this (jQuery for the click handler, but any framework works on the part that matters):

$(selector).click(function(e) {   if(e.shiftKey) {     //Shift-Click   }   if(e.ctrlKey) {     //Ctrl+Click   }   if(e.altKey) {     //Alt+Click   } }); 

Just handle whichever you want inside an if inside the click handler like I have above.
