1# W3C keyname
2
3Tiny library that exports a function `keyName` that takes a keyboard event and
4returns a
5[`KeyboardEvent.key`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/key)-style
6string. Will use the actual `key` property of the event if available,
7and fall back to a value synthesized from the `keyCode` otherwise.

9Probably often wrong on non-US keyboards, since the correspondence
10between a key code and the character it produces when shift is held is
11predicted based on a hard-coded table. Meant as a fallback for
12`KeyboardEvent.key`, not a replacement.
13
14The lookup tables from key codes (`event.keyCode`) to names are
15exported as `base` (when Shift isn't held) and `shift` (when Shift is
16held).
