I am trying to make a Google Docs add-on that uses custom keyboard shortcuts

Question

I am trying to make a Google Docs add-on that uses custom keyboard shortcuts to activate special features. I can get the letter key codes to work, however, I need to use the [Ctrl] key but the javascript keycode "17" won't work.

Can anyone help me with this? I have looked "everywhere" (A LOT of places) for how to get this to work but I just can't seem to find the right thing.

Try the snippet from this SO post:

$(document).keydown(function(e){ 
  //CTRL + V keydown combo 
  if(e.ctrlKey && e.keyCode == 86){ 
    $( '#output' ).html("I've been pressed!"); 
  } 
})
