I am working with some others on a web based javascript game, and there is a small issue where occasionally keyboard shortcuts can get in the way. sometimes for example, one might accidentally press Alt+W and that can be annoying (and sometimes a little scary depending on what your doing). So i would like to know, is there any way to use javascript to disable shortcuts on a webpage? i have looked around quite a lot and have not found anything about how to do this
you need to use key codes. try with something like this:
window.onload = function() {
window.document.body.onkeydown = function() {
if (event.ctrlKey) {
event.stopPropagation();
event.preventDefault();
try {
event.keyCode = 0;
}
catch (event) {
}
return false;
}
return true;
}
}
