Ctrl + Enter using jQuery in a TEXTAREA

January 1, 2023 by Tarik

Actually this one does the trick and works in all browsers:

if ((event.keyCode == 10 || event.keyCode == 13) && event.ctrlKey)

Link to js fiddle.

Notes:

In Chrome on Windows and Linux, Enter would be registered as keyCode 10, not 13 (bug report). So we need to check for either.
ctrlKey is control on Windows, Linux and macOS (not command). See also metaKey.
