MouseEvent metaKey property
Definition and usage
The metaKey property returns a boolean value indicating whether the "META" key was pressed when the mouse event was triggered.
Not all keyboards have a meta key. For Sun Microsystems keyboards and MIT and LISP machine keyboards, it is common. The meta key is marked as "META" or marked with a solid diamond symbol "◆".
On Mac keyboards, the META key is represented by the "Command/Cmd" ("⌘") key.
Note:This property is read-only.
Example
Determine if the "META" key was pressed when clicking the mouse button:
if (event.metaKey) {
alert("The META key was pressed!");
}
alert("The META key was NOT pressed!");
}
