onKeyPress( )

Adds an event handler that runs when a key is pressed inside the dashboard input field.

A text input receives a keyPress event when a user presses a key on the keyboard while the cursor is inside the dashboard input element. A keyPress event is fired for printable and non-printable characters.

Notes:

  • Some browsers do not issue a key press event for certain keys, such as arrow keys or the shift key.

  • When you retrieve the value from the target property of a KeyboardEvent, you get the value of the target element before the key was pressed.
