About Keyboard Events
This tool captures keydown events in JavaScript and displays various properties associated with the pressed key. It can be helpful for developers to understand how different keys are reported by browsers.
- event.key: The value of the key pressed (e.g., "a", "Enter", "F5").
- event.code: The physical key code (e.g., "KeyA", "Enter", "F5"). This is layout-independent.
- event.keyCode / event.which: Deprecated numerical codes for keys.
- event.location: Indicates the location of the key on the keyboard (e.g., standard, left/right modifier, numpad).
- Modifier Keys: Shows if Alt, Ctrl, Meta (Command/Windows key), or Shift were pressed.
