keypress, ctrl+c (or some combo like that)

I'm trying to create shortcuts on the website I'm making. I know I can do it this way:

if(e.which == 17) isCtrl=true;
if(e.which == 83 && isCtrl == true) {
    alert('CTRL+S COMBO WAS PRESSED!')
    //run code for CTRL+S -- ie, save!
    e.preventDefault();
}

But the example below is easier and less code, but it's not a combo keypress event:

$(document).keypress("c",function() {
  alert("Just C was pressed..");
});

So I want to know if by using this second example, I could do something like:

$(document).keypress("ctrl+c",function() {
  alert("Ctrl+C was pressed!!");
});

is this possible? I've tried it and it didn't work, what am I doing wrong?
