How can I make a snippet of code loops until CTRL+C is pressed?
I saw from this thread that the indicated snippet of code loops until key a is pressed.
How to make it loop until CTRL+C is pressed ?
By combining the indicated thread with this one, here is a way to do it
// add the event listener to catch the pressing of CTRL+C
document.body.addEventListener("keydown",function(e){
e = e || window.event;
var key = e.which || e.keyCode; // keyCode detection
var ctrl = e?.ctrlKey || (key === 17); // ctrl detection
// if CTRL+C is pressed, stop the loop
if ( key == 67 && ctrl ) {
window.clearInterval(interval);
console.log("Ctrl + C was pressed on the browser page (while this one was active).");
console.log("Loop ends!");
}
},false);
// define the time interval that elapses between the end and the beginning of the loops
var x_milliseconds = 1000; // milliseconds
// run a function containing the loop commands, every x_milliseconds
var interval = setInterval(function() {
console.log("The code is looping!");
}, x_milliseconds);
