KeyboardEvent Interface
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.Extends
Methods
Code void initKeyboardEvent(String type, bool canBubble, bool cancelable, Window view, String keyIdentifier, int keyLocation, bool ctrlKey, bool altKey, bool shiftKey, bool metaKey, bool altGraphKey) #
Initializes the attributes of a keyboard event object.
Parameters
typeArg- The type of keyboard event; this will be one of
keydown,keypress, orkeyup. canBubbleArg- Whether or not the event can bubble.
