in the event object there are properties for the alt, ctrl and shift key.
if (e.altKey && e.keyKode == 71) {
// ALT+g was pressed, do your code

thank you for help, but this works not in my case if i replace this
if(!e)
at line 5.
is it possible to use the alt or control also as variable key like the "e"?
regards

The e is the event object, the first if statement is needed for IE and should not be removed.
function keyHandler( e ) {
e = window.event || e; // for IE
if (e.altKey && e.keyCode == 71) {
// ALT-g
}
if (e.ctrlKey && e.keyCode == 71) {
// CTRL-g
}
if (e.shiftKey && e.keyCode == 71) {
// SHIFT-g
}
}
document.onkeydown = keyHandler;
