Recommend: 

$('input').live('keydown', function(event) {
    if ( event.which === 37 ) {
        console.log("left key pressed");
    }
});

And also: http://api.jquery.com/keypress/

Note: as the keypress event isn't covered by any official specification, the actual behavior encountered when using it may differ across browsers, browser versions, and platforms.
