How to detect if an user clicked on refresh button or F5 or Ctrl+F5?

Question

Edit: Is it a good thing to use?

window.onbeforeunload = function(e) {

};

In this function I should detect if user click refresh and if YES then do this: $_POST['enter'] = NULL;

You may want to use the keyEvent in javascript. This can detect wich keybutton the user pressed. — node_modules, Jun 12 '16 at 16:55

If you are looking for capturing the key event. This code can help you.

$(document.body).on("keydown", this,
     function (event) { 
          if (event.keyCode == 116) { alert('F5 pressed!'); 
       } 
});
