Number key presses don't generate key objects.

If I follow the example and press 1 or any number on the keyboard, it is returned as ch but key is undefined. Is this intentional?

I'm also curious about this.

[lutzbickhardt]

in fact it concerns also all characters like ,.-#+*
a quick fix without setting meta and shift keys is as follows:

} else if (s.length === 1 && s >= 'A' && s <= 'Z') {
// shift+letter
key.name = s.toLowerCase();
key.shift = true;
/new/
} else if (s.length === 1 && (
(s >= '!' && s <= '@') ||
(s >= '[' && s < 'a') ||
(s >= '{' && s <= '~')
)) {
// meta+shift key setting ignored
key.name = s;
/new end/

no fix forthcoming to handle all the keys? (including 0-9 and special cars?

Has this problem been solved?
In my program, numkey is recognized as undefined.

@mappto, seemes that there's a bunch of fixes (and forks), none of them are 100% correct :D The most obvious fix is not bulletproof.

in case someone is still wondering how to get numbers:

if(key){
//do your normal checks
...
}else{
var nn = Number(ch);
if(nn===0||nn===1||nn===2||nn===3||nn===4||nn===5||nn===6||nn===7||nn===8||nn===9){
//do your number based checks
}
}

Thanks for get the number, how to get ²&é"'(-è_çà)=,;:!?./§~#{[|`^@]}

I did not try, but I imagine the approach would be similar: cast to char, or cast to int and check the ascii code.
