What are the JavaScript KeyCodes? [closed]

What keycodes are available for JavaScript? If they're not the same for all browsers, please list the keycodes for each browser.

keyCodes are different from the ASCII values. For a complete keyCode reference, see http://unixpapa.com/js/key.html

For example, Numpad numbers have keyCodes 96 - 105, which corresponds to the beginning of lowercase alphabet in ASCII. This could lead to problems in validating numeric input.

Followed @pimvdb's advice, and created my own:

Be patient, as it takes a few seconds to generate an element for each of the 65536 characters that have a JavaScript keycode.

I needed something like this for a game's control configuration UI, so I compiled a list for the standard US keyboard layout keycodes and mapped them to their respective key names.

Here's a fiddle that contains a map for code -> name and visi versa: http://jsfiddle.net/vWx8V/

If you want to support other key layouts you'll need to modify these maps to accommodate for them separately.

That is unless you were looking for a list of keycode values that included the control characters and other special values that are not (or are rarely) possible to input using a keyboard and may be outside of the scope of the keydown/keypress/keyup events of Javascript. Many of them are control characters or special characters like null (\0) and you most likely won't need them.

Notice that the number of keys on a full keyboard is less than many of the keycode values.
