getting the click event in a kendo grid

After initializing the Grid you should bind a handler to the click event.

Example:

$("#grid").on("click", "table", function(e) {
    console.log("clicked", e.ctrlKey, e.altKey, e.shiftKey);
});

You can use:

• e.ctrlKey for detecting if ctrl is pressed.
• e.altKey for detecting if alt is pressed.
• e.shiftKey for detecting if shift is pressed.

If you want to detect click only in the body of the table, you can replace "table" by "tbody" or even "td".

Jsfiddle example.

Use dataBound event when declaring the grid:

grid = $("#grid").kendoGrid({
    ...
    ,dataBound=onDataBound
});

var onDataBound = function(e)
{
    $("#grid").find("tr").click(selectItem.apply);
};

var selectItem.apply = function (e) {
    var dataItem = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid").dataItem(this);
    if(e.ctrlKey)
       alert('Ctrl + click on ' + dataItem.column1);
}

dataItem is your bound data item that you can pass around.
