class KeyboardEvent extends UIEvent with ModifierKeyEvent

KeyboardEvent objects describe a user interaction with the keyboard. Each event describes a key; the event type (keydown, keypress, or keyup) identifies what kind of activity was performed.

Note: The KeyboardEvent indicates just what's happening on a key. When you need to handle text input, use HTML5 input event instead. For example, if user inputs text from hand-writing system like tablet PC, key events may not be fired.

Warning: keypress event is to be deprecated in favor of beforeinput event eventually
