How to find the key code for a specific key

Question

What\'s the easiest way to find the keycode for a specific key press?

Are there any good online tools that just capture any key event and show the code?

Answer 1

If you are looking for an online tool, https://keyjs.dev is probably the best option available:

• By default, it displays e.key, e.code, e.which and e.keyCode for the keydown event.

• If you need more than that, you can expand it and you will get a table with more properties for keydown, keypress and keyup.

• If you still need more than that, open DevTools and you will see all the keys you press are logged to the console in a table-like style. Just click the row you are interested in to expand it and see the whole event object.
