I want to execute cntrl+z using jquery code seems to be fine but its not working.
can anyone help me with this please.
My code is as follows:

$(document).keydown(function(e){
if(e.keyCode==90 && e.ctrlKey)
{
alert('cnttrl z pressed');
}
});

tried putting 90 in single quotes '90' not working
tried (e.keyCode==90 && e.keyCode==17) not working
tried keyup instead of keydown not working

Works fine for me, cut and pasted, providing jQuery is loaded first.

Looks like it works. All you have to do is debug it to see what is happening.

Hey! Thanks so much everyone for the replies !!! But the problem still remains unsolved.
By debugging i'm getting the e.keyCode value as 17 and the code inside if loop is not executing. It doesn't enter loop. Since the value appears 17 not 90 and hence the if condition is false.

Hi,

Your code works fine for me too. This is the way I used your code:

JavaScript

$(document).ready(function () {
            $(document).keydown(function (e) {
                if (e.keyCode == 90 && e.ctrlKey) {
                    alert('Control + Z is pressed');
                }
            });
        });
