onkeypress事件适用于所有浏览器中除ALT, CTRL, SHIFT, ESC以外的所有键，其中onkeydown事件适用于所有键。意思是onkeydown事件捕获所有的键。

“KeyPress”现已弃用。请使用KeyDown键。

KeyPress, KeyUp和KeyDown分别类似于:Click, MouseUp和MouseDown。

先下 第二个按键发生(当输入文本时) Up发生在最后(当文本输入完成时)。

webkit是个例外，它有一个额外的事件:

keydown
keypress
textInput     
keyup

下面是一个片段，你可以自己看看什么时候事件被触发:

窗口。addEventListener(“弹起”,日志); 窗口。addEventListener(“键盘按键”,日志); 窗口。addEventListener(“keydown”、日志); 对数函数(事件){ console.log(事件。类型); ｝

从这个链接:

理论上，onKeyDown和onKeyUp事件表示正在按下或释放的键，而onKeyPress事件表示正在键入的字符。该理论在所有浏览器中的实现并不相同。

一些实际的事实可能有助于决定要处理哪个事件(运行下面的脚本并关注输入框):

“输入”(美元)。上(“钥匙键盘”，e=>控制台。打字，e.keyCode, e. yg, e.key) <剧本剧本src = " https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js " > < / > 输入< - >

压:

非插入/键入键(例如Shift, Ctrl)将不会触发按键。按Ctrl并释放它: 按键17 17控制 按键17 17控制 将字符转换应用到其他字符的键盘上的键可能会导致死键和重复的“键”(例如~，´)。按´并释放它，以显示双重´´: 死亡192 按键192 192´´ 按键180°180° 按键180°180° 死了192

此外，非键入输入(例如，rang <input type="range">)仍然会根据按下的键触发所有的keyup, keydown和keypress事件。

它很好地解释了所有浏览器键事件，

The keydown event occurs when the key is pressed, followed immediately by the keypress event. Then the keyup event is generated when the key is released. To understand the difference between keydown and keypress, it is useful to distinguish between characters and keys. A key is a physical button on the computer's keyboard. A character is a symbol typed by pressing a button. On a US keyboard, hitting the 4 key while holding down the Shift key typically produces a "dollar sign" character. This is not necessarily the case on every keyboard in the world. In theory, the keydown and keyup events represent keys being pressed or released, while the keypress event represents a character being typed. In practice, this is not always the way it is implemented. For a while, some browers fired an additional event, called textInput, immediately after keypress. Early versions of the DOM 3 standard intended this as a replacement for the keypress event, but the whole notion was later revoked. Webkit supported this between versions 525 and 533, and I'm told IE supported it, but I never detected that, possibly because Webkit required it to be called textInput while IE called it textinput. There is also an event called input, supported by all browsers, which is fired just after a change is made to to a textarea or input field. Typically keypress will fire, then the typed character will appear in the text area, then input will fire. The input event doesn't actually give any information about what key was typed - you'd have to inspect the textbox to figure it out what changed - so we don't really consider it a key event and don't really document it here. Though it was originally defined only for textareas and input boxes, I believe there is some movement toward generalizing it to fire on other types of objects as well.

似乎onkeypress和onkeydown做的是一样的(在上面已经提到的快捷键的小差异中)。

你可以试试这个:

<textarea type="text" onkeypress="this.value=this.value + 'onkeypress '"></textarea>
<textarea type="text" onkeydown="this.value=this.value + 'onkeydown '" ></textarea>
<textarea type="text" onkeyup="this.value=this.value + 'onkeyup '" ></textarea>

你会看到onkeypress和onkeydown事件都是在按下键时触发的，而不是在按下键时触发的。

不同之处在于，事件不是一次触发，而是多次触发(只要您按住键)。要意识到这一点，并相应地处理它们。
