Aliases

char16_t
alias char16_t = ushort

The character generated by the keystroke.

Variables

focus_on_editable_field
int focus_on_editable_field;

True if the focus is currently on an editable field on the page. This is useful for determining if standard key events should be intercepted.

is_system_key
int is_system_key;

Indicates whether the event is considered a "system key" event (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646286(VS.85).aspx for details). This value will always be false on non-Windows platforms.

modifiers
uint modifiers;

Bit flags describing any pressed modifier keys. See cef_event_flags_t for values.

native_key_code
int native_key_code;

The actual key code genenerated by the platform.

type
cef_key_event_type_t type;

The type of keyboard event.

unmodified_character
char16_t unmodified_character;

Same as |character| but unmodified by any concurrently-held modifiers (except shift). This is useful for working out shortcut keys.

windows_key_code
int windows_key_code;

The Windows key code for the key event. This value is used by the DOM specification. Sometimes it comes directly from the event (i.e. on Windows) and sometimes it's determined using a mapping function. See WebCore/platform/chromium/KeyboardCodes.h for the list of values.
