Overview

This is a simple HTML page to capture keyboard keys and their codes directly on screen.
It is especially useful for identifying media keys (Play/Pause, Next Track, Previous Track) or other custom keys for use in web apps or music players.

Unlike console-based solutions, this tool shows everything on the page in a status box with a live press counter.
