Thanks for help Richard
What bugs me is that keydown should be fired once. I wonder if it
works for you guys that way.
I am using the flag. The flag will be assigned x times during the
keydown, which "works" however...
var SHIFTKEY_FLAG=false;
$(document).keydown( function(e){ if(e.shiftKey){ SHIFTKEY_FLAG=true;
console.log(SHIFTKEY_FLAG);} });
$(document).keyup( function(e){ if(e.shiftKey){ SHIFTKEY_FLAG=false;
console.log(SHIFTKEY_FLAG);} });
Testing Peter's keydown event at
http://www.quirksmode.org/js/keys.html
results in multiple firing when the key is pressed down across common
browsers.
It is confusing, then there is no difference between keydown and
keypress.
