I think you ll struggle with keyup event - as it first triggers keypress - and you won t be able to stop the propagation of the second one if you want to exclude the Enter Key

update  nowadays we have mobile and custom keyboards and we cannot continue trusting these arbitrary key codes such as 13 and 186  in other words  stop using event which event keyCode and start using event key   if  event key      Enter     event key      ArrowUp     event key      ArrowDown
