Interface KeyPressEvent

Represents a keydown or auto-repeated keydown event.

Use keyPressEventFromHTMLEvent where possible rather than constructing directly (required properties may change between minor releases).

interface KeyPressEvent {
    altKey: undefined | boolean;
    code: string;
    ctrlKey: undefined | boolean;
    key: string;
    kind: KeyPressEvent;
    shiftKey: undefined | boolean;
}
