I'm writing code to execute a specific function when the ctrl + shift + z
key is pressed. When I press two keys at the same time, it works fine, but when I press three keys, the event does not occur. Below is the code I wrote.
try1:
document.onkeydown = function (e) {
if (e.ctrlKey && e.key === 'z') { // It works
undo() // ctrl+ z
}
else if (e.ctrlKey && e.shiftKey && e.key==='z' ) { //It doesn't work
redo(); //ctrl + shift + z
}
}
try2:
document.onkeydown = function (e) { //
var ctrl, shift,z
console.log(e.key)
switch (e.key) {
case 'Control':
ctrl = true;
break;
case 'Shift':
shift = true;
break;
case 'Z':
z = true;
break;
}
if (ctrl&&shift&&z) redo()
}
Neither of these will work if you're typing on three keyboards.
How to make it work when ctrl+shift+z
is pressed
Change the order of the conditions, as the first condition is always true
if the second is true
, causing the code for the second condition to never execute.
document.onkeydown = function(e) {
if (e.ctrlKey && e.shiftKey && e.key === 'Z') {
undo()
} else if (e.ctrlKey && e.key === 'Z') {
redo();
}
}
