Installation

NodeJS

npm install key-display-names --save

Browser

Import the script:

<script src="https://joker876.github.io/key-names/key-names.min.js">

And access the function from a global object:

KeyNames.keyToString(/* ... */);

Usage

import { keyToString } from 'key-display-names';

keyToString(key: string, useShort: boolean = true): string;

The keyToString function converts a computer-readable key code string to a human-readable string.

The main purpose for this function is to be used for displaying keyboard shortcuts and other similar cases.

• key - the key code string to convert. In most cases case-insensitive, however for 100% reliability use PascalCase.
• useShort - whether the output string should use a shortened version, if available. Optional, defaults to true.
