How can i get a url opens in a new tab by pressing a key on my keyboard?

Question

I was trying with window.open but i got stuck when i try to use the keycode of the key that i want for example if i pressed y youtube opens or if a pressed g google opens in a new tab. That's what want to do but im lost on how to, i hope someone could help me. I was trying this

window.addEventListener('keydown', function(e) {var link = document.querySelector('a[data- key="${e.keyCode}"]') --- to select the key
if (!link) return;
window.open
});
this is how i think it could be but really i don't know

Answer 1

then you just need to check by :

document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event){
{
if(event.keycode == your key code) {
window.open("youtube.com")
}
}

Answer 2

Answer 3

window.open("example.com")

Answer 4

yes i know that
window.open("example.com", "_blank", status=0);
but what i mean is doing it by pressing a specific key from my keyboard so at the time i press the "y" key the url opens youtube in a new tab

Answer 5

you need to know key code of Y letter
you can get it with this function:

document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event){ alert(event.keycode) }
