Get key value of a key pressed

Question

I don\'t find how to get the value of a key pressed. I currently have

$(\'#info_price\').bind(\'keydown\',function(evt){
    alert(evt.keyCode);


        

Answer 1

For those who google it now, like I am

$('input').on('keydown', function(e) {
  console.log(e.key);
});​

Answer 2

You can detect all key values like this:

Here is working jsFiddle example.

$('textarea').keydown(function(e) {
    var order = e.which;
    console.log(order);
});​
