extern class js.html.KeyboardEvent
extends UIEvent
Available in js

Deprecated

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 interface is deprecated in DOM Level 3 in favor of the new TextInput interface and the corresponding textinput event, which have improved support for alternate input methods.  However, DOM Level 3 textinput events are not yet implemented in Gecko (as of version 6.0), so code written for Gecko browsers should continue to use KeyboardEvent for now.
