make on keyup only fire once inside of an input

I have this method:
jQuery(function($) {
var input = $('#search');
input.on('keyup', function() {
var key = event.keyCode || event.charCode;
if( key == 8 || key == 46 ) {
console.log('ajax request cancelled');
recentRequest.abort();
}
});
});
but as of right now everytime I press Backspace it will fire, I want to make it so it can only be fired once inside of my input. Anyone have an idea?
Thanks

You can create a backspaceFlag variable to ensure that backspace code is allowed/triggered only once:
jQuery(function($) {
var backspaceFlag = true;
var input = $('#search');
input.on('keyup', function() {
var key = event.keyCode || event.charCode;
if ((key == 8 || key == 46) && backspaceFlag) {
backspaceFlag = false;
console.log('ajax request cancelled');
recentRequest.abort();
}
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type='text' id='search' />

Call function based on input

I've an textbox in asp.net,when i enter ";" semicolon in textbox means it have to call a function.Is there any way to do this.please help me out guys..i tried change function but it calls at every keypress in textbox.
$('#prgrp').on('change', function (evt)
{
var txt = $("#prgrp").val();
var valueArray = txt.split(';');
var valueSortArray = valueArray.sort();
var duplicateValues = [];
for (var i = 0; i < valueSortArray.length; i++)
{
if (valueSortArray[i + 1] == valueSortArray[i])
{
duplicateValues.push(valueSortArray[i]);
}
}
if (duplicateValues.length > 0)
{
$("#duplicate").html("Don't enter repeated values");
$('#duplicate').css('color', 'RED');
$("#prgrp").autocomplete("disable");
}
else {
$("#duplicate").html("");
$("#prgrp").autocomplete("enable");
}
});

Try this:-
$("#prgrp").keypress(function (e) {
if (e.keyCode == 59) {
//Call your function here
}
});
Please note, you can also use e.which in place of e.keyCode as it is jquery standardized.

Try this
$('#prgrp').bind('keypress', function(e) {
var code = e.keyCode || e.which;
if(code == 59) { //
//Do something
}
});
Demo

try this code
$( "#prgrp" ).keypress(function( event ) {
if ( event.which == 59 || event.keycode == 59 ) {
//your function call
}
});

Textarea Shift+Enter for next line and Enter to submit the form

In textarea when the user presses Shift+Enter then it should continue in next new line and when he simply presses Enter it should submit the form without using submit button.
Here is the Fiddle!!
I have browsed a lot but doesn't helped me, detailed explanation appreciated
Please help me!!
Code
$('commenttextarea').keyup(function (event) {
if ( event.shiftKey && event.keyCode == 13) {
var content = this.value;
var caret = getCaret(this);
this.value = content.substring(0,caret)+"\n"+content.substring(carent,content.length-1);
event.stopPropagation();
}else if(event.keyCode == 13)
{
$('commentform').submit();
}});

First, You missed to load any jquery version
Second, you missed # before textarea and form selectors.
Also use caret not carent in line
this.value = content.substring(0,caret)+"\n"+content.substring(caret,content.length-1);
// ----------------------------------^
Full Code
function getCaret(el) {
if (el.selectionStart) {
return el.selectionStart;
} else if (document.selection) {
el.focus();
var r = document.selection.createRange();
if (r == null) {
return 0;
}
var re = el.createTextRange(),
rc = re.duplicate();
re.moveToBookmark(r.getBookmark());
rc.setEndPoint('EndToStart', re);
return rc.text.length;
}
return 0;
}
$('#commenttextarea').keyup(function (event) {
if (event.shiftKey && event.keyCode == 13) {
var content = this.value;
var caret = getCaret(this);
this.value = content.substring(0, caret) + "\n" + content.substring(caret, content.length - 1);
event.stopPropagation();
} else if (event.keyCode == 13) {
$('#commentform').submit();
}
});
See this would work

As Rohan Kumar said: you forgot the id Selectors:
$('#commenttextarea').keyup(function (event) {
if ( event.shiftKey && event.keyCode == 13) {
var content = this.value;
var caret = getCaret(this);
this.value = content.substring(0,caret)+"\n"+content.substring(carent,content.length-1);
event.stopPropagation();
}else if(event.keyCode == 13)
{
$('#commentform').submit();
}});

How to limit Tab listener to callback only if the textbox has change

I'm trying to implement a Tab key listener for a textbox.
$('#mytextbox').live('keydown', function (e) {
if (e.keyCode == 9 || e.which == 9) {
// TO DO SOMETHING
}
});
However, for some reason I need to limit the tab listener's callback to invoke only when the textbox has changed. Is there anyway to do this?

You might be able to check the value of the input field to make sure it's different from it's original value?
E.g.
$('#mytextbox').live('keydown', function (e) {
if ((e.keyCode == 9 || e.which == 9) && ($('#TextBox').val() != 'Starting Value')) {
// TO DO SOMETHING
}
});

You can do it just like:
var data = "";
$('#mytextbox').live('keydown', function (e){
if(e.which == 9 || e.keyCode == 9){
if($(this).val() != data){
alert('changed!');
data = $(this).val();
}
}
});

Or without storing / knowing value of that textbox:
var changed = false;
$('#mytextbox').on('keydown', function (e) {
if (e.which == 9 && changed) {
e.preventDefault();
// TO DO SOMETHING
alert("works");
changed = false;
} else {
changed = true;
}
});
