You don't need JavaScript here.

If to assume that your save button is declared as <button type=submit>Save</button> then it is enough to declare accesskey attribute on it like this:

<button type="submit" accesskey="v">Save</button>

This way on Windows you can press Alt + V to activate that button (do its click action). On Mac it will be Cmd + V.

You would have to add the onkeydown and onkeyup method to the document to track when buttons are pressed and when they are released.

var ctrl=false;
var shft=false;

function onkd(e){
  //check event key
  ctrl=true;
  //are all buttons pressed?
      //kick off

}
document.onkeydown = onkd;

function onku(e){
   //check event key
   ctrl=false;

}
document.onkeyup = onku;
