title: jquery hotkeys and CTRL-C
body: <p>I am building a webapp where a user can click on any cell in a table. On click, the text of that cell is copied and will pop up inside a disabled textarea in a fancybox, and the textarea is selected in js.  The user is then invited to hit CTRL-C to copy the text that is now inside the selected textarea.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to combine 2 things together when CTRL-C happens:
  (1) Copy the selected text
  (2) Close the fancybox</p>
  
  <p>I can trap the CTRL-C using jquery hotkeys, but once I use that to call the fancybox close method, the event is no longer propagating.  is there anyway to use both.  My code is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(document).bind('keydown', 'ctrl+c', function(event){   
      $.fancybox.close(); // if this is commented out, CTRL-C works just fine
      return true;
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have explained numerous times how this question is different from the others. I indicated in my original question that I can detect the keystrokes. The problem was how to detect that, let the action continue and also to take another action.  I provided an answer below, which I figured out on my own.</p>
