Javascript: loop until CTRL C is pressed-CodePudding

How can I make a snippet of code loops until CTRL C is pressed?

I saw from this thread that the indicated snippet of code loops until key a is pressed.

How to make it loop until CTRL C is pressed ?

CodePudding user response：

By combining the indicated thread with this one, here is a way to do it

// add the event listener to catch the pressing of CTRL C

document.body.addEventListener("keydown",function(e){

    e = e || window.event;
    var key = e.which || e.keyCode; // keyCode detection
    var ctrl = e?.ctrlKey || (key === 17); // ctrl detection

    // if CTRL C is pressed, stop the loop
    if ( key == 67 && ctrl ) {
        window.clearInterval(interval);

        console.log("Ctrl   C was pressed on the browser page (while this one was active).");
        console.log("Loop ends!");     
    }

},false);


// define the time interval that elapses between the end and the beginning of the loops
var x_milliseconds = 1000; // milliseconds

// run a function containing the loop commands, every x_milliseconds
var interval = setInterval(function() {
    console.log("The code is looping!");
}, x_milliseconds);
