How to capture and use Keyboard Events with JavaScript.
How to determine where the keyboard event is coming from and which key is being used.

Not covered in the video is the use of the event properties for determining whether or not the ALT, SHIFT, or CTRL keys were pressed at the same time as the other keys.

ev.ctrlKey
ev.altKey
ev.shiftKey
These are the event properties you would use to do that. You can find reference to them through the Keydown reference link below.
