I'm building an SPA where it would be quite useful if I could capture the shortcuts cmd/ctrl+shift+1 through 9. It appears to me that this should be possible, since no browser I know binds these keys to anything else, but for some reason, pressing cmd+shift+1 (I'm using a macbook) fails to even cause a keyboard event.
Is this an inherent limitation of Chrome, or is there some special thing that I don't know of that needs to be done to capture these events?
I don't have a macbook, but I can capture ctrl+shift+1 (be sure to give focus to the snippet results frame):
document.body.addEventListener('keyup', function(e)
{
if((e.code == 'Digit1' || e.code == 'Numpad1') && e.ctrlKey && e.shiftKey)
{
console.log('ctrl+shift+1');
}
else
{
console.log(e.key, 'pressed')
}
});This is layout dependent, i.e. if you are not using QWERTY, beware! See the KeyboardEvent page for help with different keyboard layouts.
