DOM Keyboard Event Level 3 polyfill

Implementation of DOM 3 Keyboard Events

Important note:

Current version conflicted with the latest w3c spec. New version will coming as soon as I get free time

Status

Beta 3

Demo

demo 1

demo 2

Example

document.addEventListener("keydown", function(e){ console.log(e.type, e.key, e.char, e.shiftKey) })
document.dispatchEvent(new KeyboardEvent("keydown", { key: "1", char: "!", shiftKey: true }))

Goal

• Normalize Keyroard Events across modern browsers
• Implement "map event.key to character values of a normal QUERTY (en-US) layout" proposal
• Implement KeyboardEvent constructor

TODO

• more readme
• tests
• examples
• fixing more Opera 12- keyboard event bugs

Tested browsers

• IE9
• Opera 12
• Safari 5.1
• Chrome 18
• FireFox 11

Other browsers

• Theoretically polyfill would work in any browser with addEventListener support
• You can bring IE6-8 support with DOM and ES5 shim (need tests)
