jQuery: trigger keypress function on entire document but not inside inputs and textareas?

Question

I have this …

$(document).keypress(function(e) {
        if ( e.keyCode === 119 ) // w
            doSomething();
    });

Wo when pressing \"w\

Answer 1

In jQuery, e.which is the normalized property, not e.keyCode.

To check if you are not in an input you can check the document.activeElement:

$(document).keypress(function(e) {
    if (e.which === 119 && !$(document.activeElement).is(":input,[contenteditable]")) {
        doSomething();
    }
});
