Web.KeyCode

Keyboard events in web browsers are often represented as keycodes, which (1) are difficult to remember, and (2) sometimes vary from browser to browser. This module allows one to look up a key press's KeyCode and get a plain English description of the Key that was pressed, to reduce confusion.

Documentation

data Key

Represents a typical keyboard's keys. The lowercase and uppercase variants of any particular key have the same KeyCode, so there are not separate constructors for them. There is also an UnknownKey constructor for keys without a particular KeyCode.

Note that the Enum instance does not correspond to the KeyCodes, but is simply provided for convenience.
