Is it possible with javascript to press a key and an action will happen?
Like <a onKeyClick(k)=windows.open("page2")
So if you press the k button, you will come to page2
Or if it's impossible, or very hard, can i press the right button somewhere in the page, and I will get to page2.
like <body onRightClick=windows.open("page2")> ?
Should be possible.
I've seen javascript where a keypress allows you to move something around the screen.
Check this out for some code that you can tweak.

set onload to capturevents()
hold down 'a' or 'd' and let go.

document.onkeydown = keyDown;
document.onkeyup = keyUp;
if (n) document.captureEvents(Event.keydown | Event.keyup);
}
function keyDown(e)
{
if (n)
{
var nKey = e.which;
var ieKey = 0;
}
else if (ie)
{
var ieKey = event.keyCode;
var nKey = 0;
}
if ((nKey == 97 || ieKey == 65))
{
}
if ((nKey == 100 || ieKey == 68))
{
}
}
function keyUp(e)
{
if (n)
{
var nKey = e.which;
var ieKey = 0;
}
if (ie)
{
var ieKey = event.keyCode;
var nKey = 0;
}
if ((nKey == 97 || ieKey == 65 || nKey == 100 || ieKey == 68)) alert('keyup');
}
</script>
Doh, got there too quick just as I was finishing writing that...
ps, http://andrew-j.port5.com/test/keyCapture.html replaces the enter key with <br>
