You could look on keydown/keyup and record when a key is pressed based on event.keyCode.

Or as Alexander pointed out, you can also use:

event.metaKey https://developer.mozilla/en-US/docs/Web/API/MouseEvent/metaKey

There are some libraries which can help you out as these keys are browser dependent

See the snippet below

$(window).keydown(function (e){
    if (e.metaKey) {
      alert('meta key is pressed');
    }
});
