I have this …
$(document).keypress(function(e) {
if ( e.keyCode === 119 ) // w
doSomething();
});
Wo when pressing \"w\
You'll have to filter out the elements after the event and not in the selector, like this
$(document).on('keypress', function(e) {
var tag = e.target.tagName.toLowerCase();
if ( e.which === 119 && tag != 'input' && tag != 'textarea')
doSomething();
});
this checks the tagname of the event.target
, the element the event originated from, and only fires the function if the event did not originate from an input or textarea.
