Key Inspector

Key Inspector is a free online tool that shows exactly what your keyboard sends to the browser. Press any key and it reveals the event's code, key, keyCode, held modifiers, and physical location — with a plain-English explanation, so developers can debug shortcuts and anyone can satisfy their curiosity.
