keycode

Simple map of keyboard codes.

$ component install timoxley/keycode

var keycode = require('keycode');
document.addEventListener('keydown', function(e) {
  console.log("You pressed", keycode(e.keyCode))
})

The keycode method responds differently depending on whether you're looking up a keycode or a keyname.

##keycode(keycode:Number)

Returns the lowercase title for given numeric keycode.

keycode(13) // => 'enter'

##keycode(title:String)

Returns numeric keycode for given key title.

keycode('Enter') // => 13

Letter casing is insensitive so the following will still work.

keycode('eNtEr') // => 13

KeyCode and KeyName maps are available directly as keycode.code and keycode.title respectively.

keycode.title[13] // => 'enter'
keycode.code['Enter'] // => 13

Due to the keypress event being weird,keycode currently does not support the keypress event, but this should not be an issue as keydown and keyup work perfectly fine.
