Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

@fluentui/keyboard-key

A simple utility for determining the KeyboardEvent.key property from a keyboard event.

Install

yarn add keyboard-key

# or

npm install keyboard-key

Usage

getKey()

Get the key property value from an event.

document.addEventListener('keydown', event => {
  const key = keyboardKey.getKey(event);

  switch (key) {
    case 'Escape':
      // handle escape key
      break;
    default:
      break;
  }
});

See MDN or the source for a full list of key values.

getCode()

You can also get the normalized keyCode from an event. @fluentui/keyboard-key includes a hash of key names to keyCodes for easy comparisons:

document.addEventListener('keydown', event => {
  const code = getCode(event);

  switch (code) {
    case keyboardKey.Escape: // 27
      // handle escape key
      break;
    default:
      break;
  }
});

Why?

Most previous key identifying KeyboardEvent properties have been pressed have been deprecated in favor of Keyboard.key.

:-1: KeyboardEvent.char :-1: KeyboardEvent.charCode :-1: KeyboardEvent.keyCode :-1: KeyboardEvent.keyIdentifier :-1: KeyboardEvent.keyLocation :-1: KeyboardEvent.which

:+1: KeyboardEvent.key

Unfortunately, KeyboardEvent.key does not yet have full browser support. Leaving the browsers without a reliable property for identifying keyboard event keys.

Locale Caveat

This utility interprets use of the shift key when inferring event key values. Example, an event describing shift+/ would result in a key value of ?. This logic assumes an en-US locale keyboard layout. This will not work if you are using a different locale such as a German layout where / is shift+7.
