Javascript Key Codes for Alt, Ctrl and Shift

Question

$("#text").bind('keypress', function(e) {
    var code = (e.KeyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which);  
    alert(code);
}

It works great for everything except Alt, Ctrlor Shift.
But in all the tutorials that I found, there should be an echo 17, 18, 19

Why?

  });
  $("#text3").bind('keyup', function(e) {

Answer 2

Do you consider using the jquery.hotkeys extension that allows you to bind by specifying a string?

"C-A-q" would bind you to: 

Control+ Alt+ q.
