W3C keyname
Tiny library that exports a function keyName
that takes a keyboard event and returns a KeyboardEvent.key
-style string. Will use the actual key
property of the event if available, and fall back to a value synthesized from the keyCode
otherwise.
Probably often wrong on non-US keyboards, since the correspondence between a key code and the character it produces when shift is held is predicted based on a hard-coded table. Meant as a fallback for KeyboardEvent.key
, not a replacement.
The lookup tables from key codes (event.keyCode
) to names are exported as base
(when Shift isn't held) and shift
(when Shift is held).
