# Interface KeyboardEvent

**`KeyboardEvent`** objects describe a user interaction with the keyboard; each event describes a single interaction between the user and a key (or combination of a key with modifier keys) on the keyboard. The event type (keydown, keypress, or keyup) identifies what kind of keyboard activity occurred.

[MDN Reference](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent)

## Properties[](#properties-1)

### `Readonly`altKey[](#altkey)

altKey: boolean

The **`KeyboardEvent.altKey`** read-only property is a boolean value that indicates if the alt key (Option or ⌥ on macOS) was pressed (true) or not (false) when the event occurred.

[MDN Reference](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/altKey)

### `Readonly`AT\_TARGET[](#at_target)

AT\_TARGET: 2

Inherited from [UIEvent](https://docs.maptiler.com/sdk-js/api-reference/interfaces/Externals.UIEvent/).[AT\_TARGET](https://docs.maptiler.com/sdk-js/api-reference/interfaces/Externals.UIEvent/#at_target)

### `Readonly`bubbles[](#bubbles)

bubbles: boolean

The **`bubbles`** read-only property of the Event interface indicates whether the event bubbles up through the DOM tree or not.

[MDN Reference](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Event/bubbles)

Inherited from [UIEvent](https://docs.maptiler.com/sdk-js/api-reference/interfaces/Externals.UIEvent/).[bubbles](https://docs.maptiler.com/sdk-js/api-reference/interfaces/Externals.UIEvent/#bubbles)

### `Readonly`BUBBLING\_PHASE[](#bubbling_phase)

BUBBLING\_PHASE: 3

Inherited from [UIEvent](https://docs.maptiler.com/sdk-js/api-reference/interfaces/Externals.UIEvent/).[BUBBLING\_PHASE](https://docs.maptiler.com/sdk-js/api-reference/interfaces/Externals.UIEvent/#bubbling_phase)

### `Readonly`cancelable[](#cancelable)

cancelable: boolean

The **`cancelable`** read-only property of the Event interface indicates whether the event can be canceled, and therefore prevented as if the event never happened.

[MDN Reference](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Event/cancelable)

Inherited from [UIEvent](https://docs.maptiler.com/sdk-js/api-reference/interfaces/Externals.UIEvent/).[cancelable](https://docs.maptiler.com/sdk-js/api-reference/interfaces/Externals.UIEvent/#cancelable)

### cancelBubble[](#cancelbubble)

cancelBubble: boolean

The **`cancelBubble`** property of the Event interface is deprecated. Use Event.stopPropagation() instead. Setting its value to true before returning from an event handler prevents propagation of the event. In later implementations, setting this to false does nothing. See Browser compatibility for details.

### `Readonly`detail[](#detail)

detail: number

The **`UIEvent.detail`** read-only property, when non-zero, provides the current (or next, depending on the event) click count.

[MDN Reference](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/isComposing)

### `Readonly`isTrusted[](#istrusted)

isTrusted: boolean

The **`isTrusted`** read-only property of the Event interface is a boolean value that is true when the event was generated by the user agent (including via user actions and programmatic methods such as HTMLElement.focus()), and false when the event was dispatched via EventTarget.dispatchEvent(). The only exception is the click event, which initializes the isTrusted property to false in user agents.

[MDN Reference](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/metaKey)

### `Readonly`NONE[](#none)

NONE: 0

Inherited from [UIEvent](https://docs.maptiler.com/sdk-js/api-reference/interfaces/Externals.UIEvent/).[NONE](https://docs.maptiler.com/sdk-js/api-reference/interfaces/Externals.UIEvent/#none)

[MDN Reference](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Event/srcElement)

Inherited from KeyboardEvent.[srcElement](#srcelement)

### `Readonly`target[](#target)

target: EventTarget | null

The read-only **`target`** property of the Event interface is a reference to the object onto which the event was dispatched. It is different from Event.currentTarget when the event handler is called during the bubbling or capturing phase of the event.

[MDN Reference](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Event/type)

Inherited from [UIEvent](https://docs.maptiler.com/sdk-js/api-reference/interfaces/Externals.UIEvent/).[type](https://docs.maptiler.com/sdk-js/api-reference/interfaces/Externals.UIEvent/#type)

-   getModifierState(keyArg: string): boolean[](#getmodifierstate-1)
    
    The **`KeyboardEvent.getModifierState()`** method returns the current state of the specified modifier key: true if the modifier is active (that is the modifier key is pressed or locked), otherwise, false.
    
    [MDN Reference](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/getModifierState)
    
    #### Parameters
    
    -   keyArg: string
    
    #### Returns boolean
    

### initEvent[](#initevent)

-   initEvent(type: string, bubbles?: boolean, cancelable?: boolean): void[](#initevent-1)
    
    The **`Event.initEvent()`** method is used to initialize the value of an event created using Document.createEvent().
    
    #### Parameters
    
    -   type: string
    -   `Optional`bubbles: boolean
    -   `Optional`cancelable: boolean
    
    #### Returns void
    
    #### Deprecated[](#deprecated-6)

### initKeyboardEvent[](#initkeyboardevent)

-   initKeyboardEvent(  
        typeArg: string,  
        bubblesArg?: boolean,  
        cancelableArg?: boolean,  
        viewArg?: [Window](https://docs.maptiler.com/sdk-js/api-reference/interfaces/Externals.Window/) | null,  
        keyArg?: string,  
        locationArg?: number,  
        ctrlKey?: boolean,  
        altKey?: boolean,  
        shiftKey?: boolean,  
        metaKey?: boolean,  
    ): void[](#initkeyboardevent-1)
    
    The **`KeyboardEvent.initKeyboardEvent()`** method initializes the attributes of a keyboard event object. This method was introduced in draft of DOM Level 3 Events, but deprecated in newer draft. Gecko won't support this feature since implementing this method as experimental broke existing web apps (see Firefox bug 999645). Web applications should use constructor instead of this if it's available.
    
    #### Parameters
    
    -   typeArg: string
    -   `Optional`bubblesArg: boolean
    -   `Optional`cancelableArg: boolean

    The **`UIEvent.initUIEvent()`** method initializes a UI event once it's been created.
    
    #### Parameters
    
    -   typeArg: string
    -   `Optional`bubblesArg: boolean
    -   `Optional`cancelableArg: boolean

### preventDefault[](#preventdefault)

-   preventDefault(): void[](#preventdefault-1)
    
    The **`preventDefault()`** method of the Event interface tells the user agent that the event is being explicitly handled, so its default action, such as page scrolling, link navigation, or pasting text, should not be taken.
    
    [MDN Reference](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Event/preventDefault)
    
    #### Returns void

### stopImmediatePropagation[](#stopimmediatepropagation)

-   stopImmediatePropagation(): void[](#stopimmediatepropagation-1)
    
    The **`stopImmediatePropagation()`** method of the Event interface prevents other listeners of the same event from being called.
    
    [MDN Reference](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Event/stopImmediatePropagation)
    
    #### Returns void

### stopPropagation[](#stoppropagation)

-   stopPropagation(): void[](#stoppropagation-1)
    
    The **`stopPropagation()`** method of the Event interface prevents further propagation of the current event in the capturing and bubbling phases. It does not, however, prevent any default behaviors from occurring; for instance, clicks on links are still processed. If you want to stop those behaviors, see the preventDefault() method. It also does not prevent propagation to other event-handlers of the current element. If you want to stop those, see stopImmediatePropagation().
