Free JavaScript Keycode and event.key Finder

Press any key to see what JavaScript reports for it: event.key, event.code, the old keyCode and which side of the keyboard it is on. A snippet is ready to copy. It gives developers a quick browser-based way to solve a focused javascript keycode info task before moving the result into a project.

How to use it

Click the box below and press a key. The big letter is event.key. The last ten presses are listed. Below, search the list of common keys.

Common mistakes

Using keyCode in new code: it is deprecated. Use event.key or event.code.
Comparing event.key with a lower-case letter while Shift or Caps Lock is on: "A" is not "a".

Frequently asked questions

What is the keycode for Enter in JavaScript?

event.key is "Enter" and event.code is "Enter" (or "NumpadEnter" on the numpad). The old keyCode is 13. Use event.key in new code.

Why is keyCode marked deprecated?

keyCode and which are legacy values that differ between keyboards and browsers. event.key (what the key means) and event.code (which physical key) are the modern, reliable choices.

What is the difference between key and code?

key is the character or action, for example "a" or "A" with Shift. code is the physical key, such as "KeyA", and does not change with the keyboard layout or Shift.

Why do I see "Unidentified" on my phone?

Virtual keyboards report limited values. Use the text box on this page to see what your keyboard sends through beforeinput.

Is anything I type sent anywhere?

No. Keys are read in your browser and are never stored or uploaded.

How do I use this javascript keycode info tool?

Use the interactive controls above; processing stays in your browser and the result is intended as a practical starting point for development work.
