Another approach  no plugin needed  is to just use  ctrlKey property of the event object that gets passed in   It indicates if Ctrl was pressed at the time of the event  like this     document  keypress  c  function e      if e ctrlKey      alert  Ctrl C was pressed

You cannot use Ctrl C by jQuery   but you can with another library which is shortcut js   Live Demo    Abdennour JSFiddle    document  ready function     shortcut add  Ctrl C   function            span   html                             Ctrl C                    shortcut add  Ctrl V   function            span   html                             Ctrl V                       shortcut add  Ctrl X   function            span   html                             Ctrl X

Try the Jquery Hotkeys plugin instead - it ll do everything you require      jQuery Hotkeys is a plug-in that lets   you easily add and remove handlers for   keyboard events anywhere in your code   supporting almost any key combination       This plugin is based off of the plugin   by Tzury Bar Yochay  jQuery hotkeys      The syntax is as follows      expression  bind types  keys  handler     expression  unbind types  handler      document  bind  keydown    ctrl a   fn       e g  replace     sign with  EUR        input foo   bind  keyup        function               this value   this value replace       EUR
