any way to detect ctrl + click in javascript for osx browsers? no jQuery

Question

using vanilla js. Any way to grab the \"right-click\" (option-click) from OSX?

function clickey(e)
{
  if(event.button==2 || /*how you\'d do it in Java=)*/ e

I'm not experienced with OSX, but the Mouse Events have the option to check the modifier keys. So something along these lines should work:

DOMElement.addEventListener("click",function(event){
   // either check directly the button
   if (event.button == 2){}
   // or
   if (event.ctrlKey || event.altKey || event.metaKey){
       // do stuff
   }  
});
