Here is my code:
function pauseSound() {
var pauseSound = document.getElementById("backgroundMusic");
pauseSound.pause();
}
I would like to add a keyboard shortcut to this code, how can I do this so that the function can also be executed when a button is clicked too?
Tried to add an else if statement but it doesn’t work, any ideas?
function doc_keyUp(e) {
if (e.ctrlKey && e.keyCode == 88) {
pauseSound();
}
else if (e.ctrlKey && e.keyCode == 84) {
playSound();
}
}
Answer
An event handler for the document’s keyup event seems like an appropriate solution.
Note: KeyboardEvent.keyCode was deprecated in favor of key.
// define a handler
function doc_keyUp(e) {
// this would test for whichever key is 40 (down arrow) and the ctrl key at the same time
if (e.ctrlKey && e.key === 'ArrowDown') {
// call your function to do the thing
pauseSound();
}
}
// register the handler
document.addEventListener('keyup', doc_keyUp, false);
