If you hold any key and press a second one twice, it does not modify the second. 1) E.g. hold ctrl and press c (keep ctrl down) ctrl-c 2) Press c again (keeping ctrl down) c Seems to be a bug with modifiers after the first keypress. If you hold any key and press a second one twice, it does not modify the second.

1) E.g. hold ctrl and press c (keep ctrl down)
ctrl-c
2) Press c again (keeping ctrl down)
c

The second way of doing it works great! I'm a happy camper. (if there ever was such a thing...) @jordan

Just saw your response. The second way of doing it works great! I’m a happy camper. (if there ever was such a thing…)

It works if I don't hold down the first key but tap it and then the next one. Wish you could hold down all keys except the last one... Never mind.

If you want to hold down "i" and press "p", you would do ['i+p'] @Michael: Nope, it should be “i” follow by “p”. If you want to hold down “i” and press “p”, you would do ['i+p']

Doesn't seem to work with your first example and jQuery 1.5. <code> $(document).bind('keystrokes', { // The key pattern you set your element to listen for keys: ['i', 'p'] }, function(event){ // Throw a notification to the user what keys they successfully typed alert('You typed : <em>' + event.keystrokes.stack_item.keys.join(', ') + '</em>'); }); </code> I'm correct in believing that the alert should appear while holding down 'i' and pressing 'p', right?

$(document).bind('keystrokes', {
// The key pattern you set your element to listen for
keys: ['i', 'p']
}, function(event){
// Throw a notification to the user what keys they successfully typed
alert('You typed : ' + event.keystrokes.stack_item.keys.join(', ') + '');

});

I’m correct in believing that the alert should appear while holding down ‘i’ and pressing ‘p’, right?

One questions: Is there a way to set something where if any key is pressed other than the one you specify, something happens? For example, if user presses 'a', one thing happens. If user presses any key that isn't 'a', something else happens. Is this possible? Great script!
