Answer 1

Use event.key and modern JS!

$(document).keypress(function(event) {
    if (event.key === "r" && event.ctrlKey) {
        // Do something
    }
});

or without jQuery:

document.addEventListener("keypress", function onEvent(event) {
    if (event.key === "r" && event.ctrlKey) {
        // Do something better
    }
});
