So basically i am trying to connect clicking links to keys in Tampermonkey. First I tried e.which, but it didn't work with different layouts. Then I tried e.code, but for some reason it only detects pressing the B key (see code below). What did I do wrong?
$(document).on("keypress", function (e) {
if(e.сode == "KeyN") {
document.getElementById("nextimage").click();
} else if(e.code == "KeyB") {
document.getElementById("previmage").click();
}
});
You can try using the KEY itself instead of the code. The toUpperCase() function will detect lowercase or uppercase :
$(document).on("keypress", function (e) {
if(e.key.toUpperCase() == "N") {
alert("yay!")
} else if(e.key.toUpperCase() == "B") {
alert("nay");
}
});
Here's a reference with the different key codes: https://keycode.info/
Try this to read keys.
Make sure you have the JQuery reference.
$(document).keypress(function(event) {
alert('You pressed - ' + event.key.toUpperCase());
});<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>and here is javascript in case:
const myText = document.getElementById('myText');
document.addEventListener('keypress', logKey);
function logKey(e) {
myText.textContent += e.key.toUpperCase();
if(e.key.toUpperCase() == 'N')
alert("You Pressed N key");
}
and
<p id="myText"></p>
