function checkArrowKeys(e){
    var arrs= ['left', 'up', 'right', 'down'], 
    key= window.event? event.keyCode: e.keyCode;
    if(key && key>36 && key<41) alert(arrs[key-37]);
}
document.onkeydown= checkArrowKeys;

下面是一个示例实现:

var targetElement = $0 || document.body;

function getArrowKeyDirection (keyCode) {
  return {
    37: 'left',
    39: 'right',
    38: 'up',
    40: 'down'
  }[keyCode];
}

function isArrowKey (keyCode) {
  return !!getArrowKeyDirection(keyCode);
}

targetElement.addEventListener('keydown', function (event) {
  var direction,
      keyCode = event.keyCode;

  if (isArrowKey(keyCode)) {
    direction = getArrowKeyDirection(keyCode);

    console.log(direction);
  }
});

function checkArrowKeys(e){
    var arrs= ['left', 'up', 'right', 'down'], 
    key= window.event? event.keyCode: e.keyCode;
    if(key && key>36 && key<41) alert(arrs[key-37]);
}
document.onkeydown= checkArrowKeys;

我已经能够用jQuery捕获它们:

$(document).keypress(function (eventObject) {
    alert(eventObject.keyCode);
});

方向键只能由onkeydown触发，而不是onkeypress。

键码是:

左= 37 Up = 38 右= 39 下降= 40

我认为最新的方法是:

document.addEventListener("keydown", function(event) {
  event.preventDefault();
  const key = event.key; // "ArrowRight", "ArrowLeft", "ArrowUp", or "ArrowDown"
  switch (key) { // change to event.key to key to use the above variable
    case "ArrowLeft":
      // Left pressed
      <do something>
      break;
    case "ArrowRight":
      // Right pressed
      <do something>
      break;
    case "ArrowUp":
      // Up pressed
      <do something>
      break;
    case "ArrowDown":
      // Down pressed
      <do something>
      break;
  }
});

这假设开发人员希望代码在页面的任何地方都是活动的，而客户端应该忽略任何其他按键。消除event.preventDefault();行if键按，包括被此处理程序捕获的键按，应该仍然是活动的。
