jQuery keydown() method

The complete key press process is divided into two parts: 1. The key is pressed; 2. The key is released.

The keydown event occurs when the button is pressed.

Note: If set on a document element, this event will occur regardless of whether the element has focus.

Tip: Use the .which property to determine which key was pressed (try it yourself).
