document.addEventListener("keypress", function(e){
if (!e.ctrlKey || e.keyCode > 40 || e.keyCode < 37) return;
switch (e.keyCode){
case 37:
window.status = "Ctrl ←";
break;
case 38:
window.status = "Ctrl ↑";
break;
case 39:
window.status = "Ctrl →";
break;
case 40:
window.status = "Ctrl ↓";
break;
}
e.preventDefault();
}, false);
Works fine for me.
