we are facing issue related to shortcut key implementation for IE11 .When we fire the Ctrl+R event it is working as refresh (F5 or Ctrl+R) of IE11. We have implemented shortcut key like below.
Anyone can help me how we can override the IE11 shortcut key like F5 or Ctrl+R.
We also try the below link .We are not able get how it is working.
Is there a way to capture/override Ctrl-R or F5 on IE using Javascript?
document.addEventListener("keydown", onKeyDown, false);
function onKeyDown(e) {
e = e || window.event;
var keyValue=0;
var set = new Set([65,80,81,82,85,45,46]);
var cont=false;
//var isIE11 = navigator.userAgent.test(/Trident.*rv[ :]*11\./);
if(isIE11){
alert("ie11");
}else{
alert("not ie");
}
if(e.ctrlKey){
keyValue=17;
if(set.has(e.keyCode)){
cont=true;
}
}else if(e.shiftKey){
keyValue=16;
if((e.keyCode>=113 && e.keyCode<=118)&& e.keyCode!=115){
cont=true;
}
}else if(e.altKey){
keyValue=18;
if(e.keyCode==76){
cont=true;
}
}else if(e.keyCode>112&& e.keyCode<=123){
cont=true;
}
if(cont){
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
e.returnValue = false;
//tempAlert("close",5000);
zAu.send(new zk.Event(zk.Widget.$('#content'), 'onCtrlKey', {key:e.keyCode,ctrlKey:keyValue},{toServer:true}));
}
return false;
}
Thanks

Sorry to tell you the bad news, but for security reasons this is simple not allowed. In IE it is actually possible to capture F5, Ctrl+R and other standard hotkeys like Ctrl+P, but IE will always perform the standard action afterwards or even simultaneously.
So IMHO, to the question you've linked and to your own question the best answer is: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1400676/932282
Even extensive libraries like Mousetrap or KeyboardJS won't be able to capture these type of shortcut keys reliably.
