KeyEvent (GWT Javadoc)

java.lang.Object
- com.google.web.bindery.event.shared.Event<H>
- - com.google.gwt.event.shared.GwtEvent<H>
  - - com.google.gwt.event.dom.client.DomEvent<H>
    - - com.google.gwt.event.dom.client.KeyEvent<H>

Type Parameters:

H - The event handler type

All Implemented Interfaces:

HasNativeEvent

Direct Known Subclasses:

KeyCodeEvent, KeyPressEvent
```
public abstract class KeyEvent<H extends EventHandler>
extends DomEvent<H>
```
Base class for Key events. The native keyboard events are somewhat a mess (http://www.quirksmode.org/js/keys.html), we do some trivial normalization here, but do not attempt any complex patching, so user be warned.
