Triggering a function - keybinding CTRL+Z

Question

I haven't figured yet how jQuery keybindings work.

I want to trigger a function when CTRL+Z is pressed for example.

These docs from jQuery's site seems to me, to be dealing with ANY keypress. I'm obviously missing something.

Thanks!

This is how you detect a Ctrl+Z:

$(document).keydown(function(e){
      if( e.which === 90 && e.ctrlKey){
         alert("yahoo!");
         // Do your stuff
      }
}); 

jQuery has some built in stuff as well:
