I created one Asp MVC4 web application using C# which we can dynamically create keyboard shortcuts for all the pages.And we can use that keyboard shortcuts instantly to go to specific page.And the problem is every browser have their own default shortcuts.For example
If I create the keyboard shortcut CTRL + A it should redirect to my own custom page. But the default browser shortcut CTRL + A selects all from the page instead.
I want to disable the default browser shortcuts to give priority to my own custom shortcuts.Is this any way to achieve these? For my custom shortcuts,i used jquery keyUp event.I searched on internet,there suggestion are on jquery keyUp event,use preventDefault().But for accessing my own custom shortcuts,i am using keyUp event.So tell me suggestions to disable default browser shortcuts in all browsers either by C#, jquery or any other way.

I'm pretty sure this is not possible, at the very least it won't work reliably accross all browsers. You can listen to key events using
keydownand check the event to see if CTRL was pressed, but the browser chrome will override any shortcuts you make in JS. – Rory McCrossan Commented Feb 24, 2015 at 9:59

Reset to default 9This will let you do this:
e.ctrlKey && String.fromCharCode(kc).toUpperCase()
checks for Ctrl + A to be pressed.
$(document).on('keydown', function(e) {
var kc = e.which || e.keyCode;
if (e.ctrlKey && String.fromCharCode(kc).toUpperCase() == "A") {
e.preventDefault();
console.log(String.fromCharCode(kc).toUpperCase());
window.location.href = 'your url here';
}
});<script src="https://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
adfasfasdfsdaYou had the procedure correct. I guess you can use ascii values to manipulate such things for eg: I use this for pressing enter key.
$('body').on('keypress', '#Selector-Id', function(e) {
if (e.which == 13) {
alert("Hi");
}
});
