[jQuery] Re: Detecting ctrl+click on an element

[Jeffrey Kretz]

Another way would be to use the ctrlKey property of the Click event:

$('#element').click(function(e)
        {
                if (e.ctrlKey)
                {
                        do_something();
                }
        });

jQuery also normalizes this into the metaKey attribute which detects the CMD
key on a Mac:

$('#element').click(function(e)
        {
                if (e.metaKey)
                {
                        do_something();
                }
        });

try this, supposing #target is yout target

var clickFn = function(){
        alert("ctrl + click");
        $(this).unbind('click', clickFn);
}

$(document)
        .keydown(function(event){
                if (event.keyCode == 17){
                        $("#target").click(clickFn);
                }
        })
        .keyup(function(event){
                if (event.keyCode == 17){
                        $("#target").unbind('click', clickFn);
                }
        });
