You can do ['ctrl', 'z'] if you don't want combo keys and instead want just a sequence. @bobmoff: Not sure what you mean.

It only handles sequences ? I wanted to use this as a CTRL+Z (Undo command) but as soon as the event is triggered i cannot keep pressing Z without releasing CTRL.

There are times when it is useful. Or even better, captureInputFields could be an option for bind, like this: $(document).bind('keystrokes', { keys: ['ctrl+s'], captureInputFields: true }, ....) Now I have to do complcated workarounds for global hotkeys, like $(document).add('input[type=text]').bind('keystrokes', { keys: ['ctrl+s'] }, ....) (I never know when i missed some element types.)

Keystrokes is now compatible with jQuery 1.4.2. If you have an old version of jQuery, you'll have to upgrade (won't work with 1.4.1). The jump from jQuery 1.4.1 to 1.4.2 was small so I imagine people can upgrade. UPDATE! Keystrokes is now compatible with jQuery 1.4.2.

It breaks in jQuery 1.4.2 cause they made some changes to the special event API. I'm in the process of fixing it (will post update) but until then you'll have to use it with versions earlier than 1.4.2. @Tarkh: You’re right.

But, you can enable it by adding <code> $.event.special.keystrokes.global.captureInputFields = true; </code> before you bind any keystroke events. @Tarkh: This was done by default in the code, as most will probably not want to capture keys while they’re typing in a field.
