Q&A

Welcome to Software Development on Codidact!

Will you help us build our independent community of developers helping developers? We're small and trying to grow. We welcome questions about all aspects of software development, from design to code to QA and more. Got questions? Got answers? Got code you'd like someone to review? Please join us.

Why does a keydown event is listened only once?

The following code (credit for user:hkotsubo) moves the user to another page if Alt+Shift+E are pressed together.

window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
  let domain = window.location.host;
  let protocol = window.location.protocol;
  let h1 = document.querySelector("h1");

  window.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
      if (event.altKey && event.shiftKey && event.key === 'E') {
          window.location.href = `${protocol}//${domain}/index.php?title=${h1.innerText}&action=edit`;
      }
  });
});

I have the problem that the code can only run once.
Even if I run it from a user script manager so it's always in the background, still, I can use it to move a user to the edit page only once per page load, so if I want to use it again I have to refresh the page.

Why is this problem happening and how would you suggest to solve it?
