Parameters

type

Type: SystemString
Type of the key event.

modifiers (Optional)

Type: SystemNullableInt32
Bit field representing pressed modifier keys. Alt=1, Ctrl=2, Meta/Command=4, Shift=8(default: 0).

timestamp (Optional)

Type: SystemNullableInt64
Time at which the event occurred.

text (Optional)

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

unmodifiedText (Optional)

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

keyIdentifier (Optional)

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

code (Optional)

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

key (Optional)

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

windowsVirtualKeyCode (Optional)

Type: SystemNullableInt32
Windows virtual key code (default: 0).

nativeVirtualKeyCode (Optional)

Type: SystemNullableInt32
Native virtual key code (default: 0).

autoRepeat (Optional)

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

isKeypad (Optional)

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

isSystemKey (Optional)

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

location (Optional)

Type: SystemNullableInt32
Whether the event was from the left or right side of the keyboard. 1=Left, 2=Right (default:0).

commands (Optional)

Type: SystemString
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/+/master:third_party/blink/renderer/core/editing/commands/editor_command_names.h for valid command names.
