Code:

$('#Inputfield').keyup(function(e)

        {

            if(e.which == 13)

            {

                functionXyz();

            }

            else

            {

                functionZyx();

            }

    });  





$(document).keyup(function(exit) {

              if (exit.keyCode == 27) { functionZzy(); }

});

Question: How to remove the keyup event handler of keyCode == 27 and keep the other $(document).keyup event handlers intact?

You have to use a named function so you can reference that specific handler when calling .unbind(), like this:

function keyUpFunc(e) {

  if (e.keyCode == 27) { functionZzy(); }

}

$(document).keyup(keyUpFunc);

Then later when unbinding:

$(document).unbind(keyup, keyUpFunc);
