Detecting a shift + click with Jquery on Chrome

I'm trying to detect a shift click with javascript but for some reason it only works on IE
.click(function (e) {
if (e.shiftKey) {
Rain();
}
});
this is the code that work for me in IE, how can I detect it on Chrome

I don't think there is a defined combo, but you could make it yourself. A (crude) example:
<div id="someElement">
Click me for an alert!
</div>
<script>
var shiftPressed = false;
$(document).keydown(function(event) {
shiftPressed = event.keyCode==16;
});
$(document).keyup(function(event) {
if( event.keyCode==16 ){ shiftPressed = false; }
});
$('#someElement').on('click', function(e){
if( shiftPressed ){
alert("Shift and click!");
}
else{ alert("Nope"); }
});
</script>
You could improve it by only binding the .keyup() when the keydown is a shift in order to minimize the number of events. You should add as little logic as possible outside the if statements, as this event gets fired a lot

Unbind right click if click once

I want to unbind right click if it is clicked once it after unbinding left click should work the code i used for clicking is
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
document.oncontextmenu =function(){return false;};
$(document).mousedown(function(e){
//alert(e.button);
if( e.button == 0){
alert('right click');
}
if( e.button == 2){
alert('Left click');
}
});
});
</script>

[Using your original unedited code] you could move the flag checks inside the right click if:
flag=0;
$(document).mousedown(function(e){
if( e.button == 0){
if(flag==0){
alert('right click');
flag=1;
}
}
if( e.button == 2){
alert('Left click');
}
});
This will give you a
single right mousedown
no limit on left mousedown
Bit confusing from your wording, but looks like you actually want
no left mousedown until right mousedown
one right mousedown then disables right mousedown and enables left mousedown/click
You could do this with similar code
flag=0;
$(document).mousedown(function(e){
if (flag==0) {
if( e.button == 0){
alert('right click');
flag=1;
}
}
else {
if( e.button == 2){
alert('Left click');
}
}
});
Having said that, mousedown is not the same as a click.
A click is both mousedown and mouseup within a short time. If you're used to clicking (down+up) then something happening when you only mousedown will be confusing and could be annoying.
So, using Kriggs suggestion, you could use .one on mousedown, but you'd need to rebind if it wasn't right-mouse, so use .on and .off then bind click after:
$(document).on("mousedown", function() {
if (e.button==0) {
$(document).off("mousedown")
$(document).click(function() {
alert("left click");
});
}
});
This gives you:
no left click until right mousedown
one right mousedown then no more mousedown
left click after right mousedown

Use .one, along with mousedown, append the onclick inside the function of the .one.

On CTRL+MOUSEWHEEL event

I was asked to implement ctrl+mousewheel event for our page site in order to change image offset on user zoom in or zoom out. I found this old answer Override browsers CTRL+(WHEEL)SCROLL with javascript and I`ve tried to do the same.
I downloaded the jQuery Mouse Wheel Plugin for the implementation and here is my code:
var isCtrl = false;
$(document).on('keydown keyup', function(e) {
if (e.which === 17) {
isCtrl = e.type === 'keydown' ? true : false;
}
}).on('mousewheel', function(e, delta) { // `delta` will be the distance that the page would have scrolled;
// might be useful for increasing the SVG size, might not
if (isCtrl) {
e.preventDefault();
alert('wheel');
}
});
The events works fine separately, but if I hold the CTRL button and wheel the mouse the wheel event does not fire.
Does any one have better solution for this or may be I did something wrong?

Fiddle, In order for it to work you have to click in the result box first before trying.
$(window).bind('mousewheel DOMMouseScroll', function(event)
{
if(event.ctrlKey == true)
{
event.preventDefault();
if(event.originalEvent.detail > 0) {
console.log('Down');
}else {
console.log('Up');
}
}
});

To check if the ctrl key is clicked, the event already provides a way to do that. Try this:
.on('mousewheel', function(e) {
if (e.ctrlKey) {
e.preventDefault();
alert('wheel');
}
});
This also works for e.shiftKey, e.altKey etc. I would only listen for the scroll event and there I would check if the ctrlKey is down.

This can be achieved with the wheel event, which is the standard wheel event interface to use.
document.getElementById('id_of_element')
.addEventListener('wheel', (e) => {
if(e.ctrlKey)
alert("Control + mouse wheel detected!");
})

Creating an event handler for user right clicking and inspecting an element in Firefox or Chrome

This is probably a question motivated more by concern for privacy than the potential for applicability, but is there a way to create an event handler that picks up the event of the user right clicking and selecting "inspect element" in Chrome or Firefox?
If there's not clear answer for this, is there a way to handle events for right click menu selections?

a fiddle I put together, you can get all the information on the element that the mousedown
event was on
document.addEventListener('contextmenu', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
}, false);
document.addEventListener("mousedown", function(e) {
console.log(e); // you can inspect the click event
$this = $('.cmenu');
if (e.which === 3){ // right click = 3, left click = 1
$this.addClass('open');
$this.css({
'left': e.pageX - $this.width() / 2,
'top': e.pageY - $this.height()
});
}else if(e.which === 1 && e.target.nodeName == "HTML"){
$this.removeClass('open');
}
});
http://jsfiddle.net/MKBdv/1/

You can listen to event click, add check whether it is right click:
document.addEventListener("mousedown", function(e) {
console.log(e); // you can inspect the click event
if (e.which === 3) { // right click = 3, left click = 1
alert("right click");
}
});
// prevent context menu show up
document.addEventListener('contextmenu', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
}, false);

How to distinguish between left and right mouse click with jQuery

How do you obtain the clicked mouse button using jQuery?
$('div').bind('click', function(){
alert('clicked');
});
this is triggered by both right and left click, what is the way of being able to catch right mouse click? I'd be happy if something like below exists:
$('div').bind('rightclick', function(){
alert('right mouse button is pressed');
});

As of jQuery version 1.1.3, event.which normalizes event.keyCode and event.charCode so you don't have to worry about browser compatibility issues. Documentation on event.which
event.which will give 1, 2 or 3 for left, middle and right mouse buttons respectively so:
$('#element').mousedown(function(event) {
switch (event.which) {
case 1:
alert('Left Mouse button pressed.');
break;
case 2:
alert('Middle Mouse button pressed.');
break;
case 3:
alert('Right Mouse button pressed.');
break;
default:
alert('You have a strange Mouse!');
}
});

Edit: I changed it to work for dynamically added elements using .on() in jQuery 1.7 or above:
$(document).on("contextmenu", ".element", function(e){
alert('Context Menu event has fired!');
return false;
});
Demo: jsfiddle.net/Kn9s7/5
[Start of original post] This is what worked for me:
$('.element').bind("contextmenu",function(e){
alert('Context Menu event has fired!');
return false;
});
In case you are into multiple solutions ^^
Edit: Tim Down brings up a good point that it's not always going to be a right-click that fires the contextmenu event, but also when the context menu key is pressed (which is arguably a replacement for a right-click)

You can easily tell which mouse button was pressed by checking the which property of the event object on mouse events:
/*
1 = Left mouse button
2 = Centre mouse button
3 = Right mouse button
*/
$([selector]).mousedown(function(e) {
if (e.which === 3) {
/* Right mouse button was clicked! */
}
});

You can also bind to contextmenu and return false:
$('selector').bind('contextmenu', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
//code
return false;
});
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/maniator/WS9S2/
Or you can make a quick plugin that does the same:
(function( $ ) {
$.fn.rightClick = function(method) {
$(this).bind('contextmenu rightclick', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
method();
return false;
});
};
})( jQuery );
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/maniator/WS9S2/2/
Using .on(...) jQuery >= 1.7:
$(document).on("contextmenu", "selector", function(e){
e.preventDefault();
//code
return false;
}); //does not have to use `document`, it could be any container element.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/maniator/WS9S2/283/

$("#element").live('click', function(e) {
if( (!$.browser.msie && e.button == 0) || ($.browser.msie && e.button == 1) ) {
alert("Left Button");
}
else if(e.button == 2){
alert("Right Button");
}
});
Update for the current state of the things:
var $log = $("div.log");
$("div.target").on("mousedown", function() {
$log.text("Which: " + event.which);
if (event.which === 1) {
$(this).removeClass("right middle").addClass("left");
} else if (event.which === 2) {
$(this).removeClass("left right").addClass("middle");
} else if (event.which === 3) {
$(this).removeClass("left middle").addClass("right");
}
});
div.target {
border: 1px solid blue;
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
}
div.target.left {
background-color: #0faf3d;
}
div.target.right {
background-color: #f093df;
}
div.target.middle {

There are a lot of very good answers, but I just want to touch on one major difference between IE9 and IE < 9 when using event.button.
According to the old Microsoft specification for event.button the codes differ from the ones used by W3C. W3C considers only 3 cases:
Left mouse button is clicked - event.button === 1
Right mouse button is clicked - event.button === 3
Middle mouse button is clicked - event.button === 2
In older Internet Explorers however Microsoft are flipping a bit for the pressed button and there are 8 cases:
No button is clicked - event.button === 0 or 000
Left button is clicked - event.button === 1 or 001
Right button is clicked - event.button === 2 or 010
Left and right buttons are clicked - event.button === 3 or 011
Middle button is clicked - event.button === 4 or 100
Middle and left buttons are clicked - event.button === 5 or 101
Middle and right buttons are clicked - event.button === 6 or 110
All 3 buttons are clicked - event.button === 7 or 111
Despite the fact that this is theoretically how it should work, no Internet Explorer has ever supported the cases of two or three buttons simultaneously pressed. I am mentioning it because the W3C standard cannot even theoretically support this.

It seems to me that a slight adaptation of TheVillageIdiot's answer would be cleaner:
$('#element').bind('click', function(e) {
if (e.button == 2) {
alert("Right click");
}
else {
alert("Some other click");
}
}
EDIT: JQuery provides an e.which attribute, returning 1, 2, 3 for left, middle, and right click respectively. So you could also use if (e.which == 3) { alert("right click"); }
See also: answers to "Triggering onclick event using middle click"

event.which === 1 ensures it's a left-click (when using jQuery).
But you should also think about modifier keys: ctrlcmdshiftalt
If you're only interested in catching simple, unmodified left-clicks, you can do something like this:
var isSimpleClick = function (event) {
return !(
event.which !== 1 || // not a left click
event.metaKey || // "open link in new tab" (mac)
event.ctrlKey || // "open link in new tab" (windows/linux)
event.shiftKey || // "open link in new window"
event.altKey // "save link as"
);
};
$('a').on('click', function (event) {
if (isSimpleClick(event)) {
event.preventDefault();
// do something...
}
});

To those who are wondering if they should or not use event.which in vanilla JS or Angular : It's now deprecated so prefer using event.buttons instead.
Note : With this method and (mousedown) event:
left click press is associated to 1
right click press is associated to 2
scroll button press is associated with 4
and (mouseup) event will NOT return the same numbers but 0 instead.
Source : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MouseEvent/buttons

there is also a way, to do it without JQuery!
check out this:
document.addEventListener("mousedown", function(evt) {
switch(evt.buttons) {
case 1: // left mouse
case 2: // right mouse
case 3: // middle mouse <- I didn't tested that, I just got a touchpad
}
});

If you are looking for "Better Javascript Mouse Events" which allow for
left mousedown
middle mousedown
right mousedown
left mouseup
middle mouseup
right mouseup
left click
middle click
right click
mousewheel up
mousewheel down
Have a look at this cross browser normal javascript which triggers the above events, and removes the headache work. Just copy and paste it into the head of your script, or include it in a file in the <head> of your document. Then bind your events, refer to the next code block below which shows a jquery example of capturing the events and firing the functions assigned to them, though this works with normal javascript binding as well.
If your interested in seeing it work, have a look at the jsFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/BNefn/

Better Mouse Click Events Example (uses jquery for simplicity, but the above will work cross browser and fire the same event names, IE uses on before the names)
<div id="Test"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">

.on('mouseup:left',function(e){$(this).append(e.type+'<br />');})
.on('mouseup:middle',function(e){$(this).append(e.type+'<br />');})
.on('mouseup:right',function(e){$(this).append(e.type+'<br />');})
.on('click',function(e){$(this).append(e.type+'<br />');})
.on('click:left',function(e){$(this).append(e.type+'<br />');})
.on('click:middle',function(e){$(this).append(e.type+'<br />');})
.on('click:right',function(e){$(this).append(e.type+'<br />');})

$("body").on({

Oold old post - but thought would share with complete answer to people asking above about all mouse click event types.
Add this script so it applies to the entire page:
var onMousedown = function (e) {
if (e.which === 1) {/* Left Mouse Click */}
else if (e.which === 2) {/* Middle Mouse Click */}
else if (e.which === 3) {/* Right Mouse Click */}
};
clickArea.addEventListener("mousedown", onMousedown);
Note: Make sure you 'return false;' on the element being clicked - is really important.
Cheers!

With jquery you can use event object type
jQuery(".element").on("click contextmenu", function(e){
if(e.type == "contextmenu") {
alert("Right click");
}
});

$.fn.rightclick = function(func){
$(this).mousedown(function(event){
if(event.button == 2) {
var oncontextmenu = document.oncontextmenu;
document.oncontextmenu = function(){return false;};
setTimeout(function(){document.oncontextmenu = oncontextmenu;},300);
func(event);
return false;
}
});
};
$('.item').rightclick(function(e){
alert("item");
});

you can try this code:
event.button
Return Value: A Number, representing which mouse button that was pressed when the mouse event occured.
Possible values:
0 : Left mouse button
1 : Wheel button or middle button (if present)
2 : Right mouse button
Note: Internet Explorer 8 and earlier has different return values:
1 : Left mouse button
2 : Right mouse button
4 : Wheel button or middle button (if present) Note: For a left-hand configured mouse, the return values are reversed

$.event.special.rightclick = {
bindType: "contextmenu",
delegateType: "contextmenu"
};
$(document).on("rightclick", "div", function() {
console.log("hello");
return false;
});
