Parameters

type  DispatchKeyEventType

Type of the key event.

modifiers  NullableInt32  (Optional)

Bit field representing pressed modifier keys. Alt=1, Ctrl=2, Meta/Command=4, Shift=8(default: 0).

timestamp  NullableDouble  (Optional)

Time at which the event occurred.

text  String  (Optional)

Text as generated by processing a virtual key code with a keyboard layout. Not needed forfor `keyUp` and `rawKeyDown` events (default: "")

unmodifiedText  String  (Optional)

Text that would have been generated by the keyboard if no modifiers were pressed (except forshift). Useful for shortcut (accelerator) key handling (default: "").

keyIdentifier  String  (Optional)

Unique key identifier (e.g., 'U+0041') (default: "").

code  String  (Optional)

Unique DOM defined string value for each physical key (e.g., 'KeyA') (default: "").

key  String  (Optional)

Unique DOM defined string value describing the meaning of the key in the context of activemodifiers, keyboard layout, etc (e.g., 'AltGr') (default: "").

windowsVirtualKeyCode  NullableInt32  (Optional)

Windows virtual key code (default: 0).

nativeVirtualKeyCode  NullableInt32  (Optional)

Native virtual key code (default: 0).

autoRepeat  NullableBoolean  (Optional)

Whether the event was generated from auto repeat (default: false).

isKeypad  NullableBoolean  (Optional)

Whether the event was generated from the keypad (default: false).

isSystemKey  NullableBoolean  (Optional)

Whether the event was a system key event (default: false).

location  NullableInt32  (Optional)

Whether the event was from the left or right side of the keyboard. 1=Left, 2=Right (default:0).

commands  String  (Optional)

Editing commands to send with the key event (e.g., 'selectAll') (default: []).These are related to but not equal the command names used in `document.execCommand` and NSStandardKeyBindingResponding.See https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:third_party/blink/renderer/core/editing/commands/editor_command_names.h for valid command names.
