using Shift Enter key to run a function

Time:10-11

I'm kind of new to JS, I have searched the internet and I haven't got what I'm looking for, I want to run a function if the keys Shift and Enter were pressed, like a shortcut, I have tried this but I think I killed JS with this code

document.addEventListener('keypress', function (e) {
    if (e.key === 'Enter'   'Shift') {

       console.log("test");
    }
});

anything would be helpful, thanks.

You can use e.shiftKey to see if shift is being pressed.

document.addEventListener('keypress', function(e) {
  if (e.key === 'Enter' && e.shiftKey) {
    console.log("test");
  }
});

This is a pretty expandable solution because you can create shortcuts for many different keys.

const keysDown = {};
document.addEventListener('keydown', ({ key }) => {
  keysDown[key] = true;
  if (keysDown.Shift && keysDown.Enter) console.log("test");
});
document.addEventListener('keyup', ({ key }) => {
  keysDown[key] = false;
});
