KeyboardLayoutMap: get() method
Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The get() method of the
KeyboardLayoutMap interface returns the element with the given
key.
A list of valid keys is found in the UI Events KeyboardEvent code Values specification.
The method is otherwise the same as Map.prototype.get().
Syntax
get(key)
Parameters
key-
The key of the item to return from the map.
Return value
The value of the specified key.
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to get the location- or layout-specific string associated with the keyboard code that corresponds to the 'W' key on an English QWERTY keyboard.
navigator.keyboard.getLayoutMap().then((keyboardLayoutMap) => {
const upKey = keyboardLayoutMap.get("KeyW");
window.alert(`Press ${upKey} to move up.`);
});
