Key Code Table

Click to test a KeyCode

Key codes differ from chracter codes in that they correspond to physical keys on the keyboard. So, where as 'a' and 'A' are two distinct character codes, they represent the same key code for the 'A' key. Key codes can differ from browser to browser. To test a key and find its value in your current browser, click the box on the left and press keys to see their key codes.
