http   keycodes atjayjo com   This app is just awesome  It is essentially a virtual keyboard that immediately shows you the keycode pressed on a standard US keyboard

I needed something like this for a game s control configuration UI  so I compiled a list for the standard US keyboard layout keycodes and mapped them to their respective key names   Here s a fiddle that contains a map for code -  name and visi versa  http   jsfiddle net vWx8V   If you want to support other key layouts you ll need to modify these maps to accommodate for them separately   That is unless you were looking for a list of keycode values that included the control characters and other special values that are not  or are rarely  possible to input using a keyboard and may be outside of the scope of the keydown keypress keyup events of Javascript  Many of them are control characters or special characters like null   0  and you most likely won t need them   Notice that the number of keys on a full keyboard is less than many of the keycode values

keyCodes are different from the ASCII values  For a complete keyCode reference  see http   unixpapa com js key html  For example  Numpad numbers have keyCodes 96 - 105  which corresponds to the beginning of lowercase alphabet in ASCII  This could lead to problems in validating numeric input
