Modern JavaScript Keyboard Events
While legacy web applications used event.keyCode (which is now deprecated in modern Web Specifications), contemporary JavaScript applications use event.key and event.code:
- event.key: Returns the actual character pressed (e.g.
"a","A","Enter"). - event.code: Returns the physical key position on the keyboard (e.g.
"KeyA","Digit1").
