Redirect function on keycode

Question

Im trying to make a keycode to redirect users to new page in javascript, but my code is not working. Does anyone have a solution?

if (keyCode == 17&&65) {
        window.location = "somerandompage.html";
    }

@Samathingamajig Nope, that expression is equivalent to `(keyCode == 17) && 65`, also `17 && 65` evaluates to 65 not 17. — ChrisG, Jun 01 '21 at 19:43
It seems like OP wants it so that pressing `Ctrl+a` to redirect — Samathingamajig, Jun 01 '21 at 19:43

OP, is this all you have? Or is this inside a window keydown listener? — ChrisG, Jun 01 '21 at 19:47

It appears that you want it so that pressing Ctrl+a will redirect, which can be done by checking that a is pressed, and the Ctrl key is already pressed

window.addEventListener("keydown", event => {
  if (event.keyCode === 65 && event.ctrlKey) {
    alert("Ctrl+a pressed");
    window.location = "somerandompage.html";
  }
});
