How do I handle keyboard events across different browsers?

To handle keyboard events across different browsers, you should use the standard event properties and methods. Most modern browsers support the same keyboard event model, but there are some differences in how they handle certain keys.

What are the main differences I should be aware of?

Some key differences include how certain keys are represented in the event object, like 'Enter' or 'Escape'. For example, older versions of Internet Explorer use different key codes.

Can you provide a code example for detecting a key press?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
    if (event.key === 'Enter') {
        console.log('Enter key pressed!');
    }
});

What about handling key combinations like Ctrl + C?

You can check for key combinations by using the event.ctrlKey property along with the key event. Here's an example:

document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
    if (event.ctrlKey && event.key === 'c') {
        console.log('Ctrl + C pressed!');
    }
});
