hot new top

you will use js for this:

window.addEventListener("keydown", e => {
  if (e.key == "a") { alert("BLAH"); }
});

@Coder100 oh ok thx

np @srsly

@Coder100 How would i do
window.addEventListener("keydown", e => {
if (e.key == "a") { alert("BLAH"); }
}); and then if they would click a it would change the x or y position
(like can you give me a example)

i'm sorry change what
and click what @srsly

@Coder100 so first we would do this:
window.addEventListener("keydown", e => {
if (e.key == "a") { alert("BLAH"); }
}); then I want to do if a is clicked on the keyboard it will change the x or y position of an image how would i do that?

i would like to say that I already gave you the code for pressing the a key remember?

here we go:

let img = document.querySelector("img");
window.addEventListener("keydown", e => {
  if (e.key == "a") {
    let newLeft = parseInt(img.style.left) - 3;
    img.style.left = newLeft + "px";
  }
});
