History for this tool
The most recent data you entered in this tool, stored only in this browser.
Save what you type here, in this browser? Your work would go into this browser's local storage, so a refresh or a trip to another tool does not wipe it. You also get a short list of previous entries under the form, each one restorable with a click. Nothing is ever uploaded, and there is no account.
Being straight about the trade-off: anything kept there can be read by anyone who can use this browser profile, and by any script that later runs on this site. A tool page can hold a private key, a password or a signed token. Saving is convenient; it is not private.

About this tool
Press a key and see everything the browser reports about it: the key name, the legacy keyCode and whichCode, the physical position on the keyboard, and which modifier keys were held. It is for wiring up a shortcut without guessing.Questions
- Why is keyCode deprecated?
- It is inconsistent across layouts and languages — the same physical key reports different values. Use event.key for the character and event.code for the physical position, and press a key here to see the difference.
