Detect URl Bar click event or user typing in Browser address bar with Jquery/java-script

I am working on a project where I need to Interact with browser Url bar. I mean I need too detect event with jquery/JS as soon as user clicks on address bar or type in there or if user clicks on another tab so to use with with callback and do the stuff. I know the browser is a OS app and has its own control but is there a way to accomplish this? Right now I am just detecting if user leaves Html from upper position.

Here is the code

co$(window).mouseleave(function(e){
    if(e.pageY<5)
    {
        //do stuff;
    }
});

Any thoughts will be appreciated

The only way to handle this is using $(window).bind('beforeunload', function (e) { your code here }); But again it will not tell you which key is pressed. It will only gets called upon reload the page, refresh the page and browser close.

Unfortunately, you cannot tell when the user is interacting with the address bar.
