Comparing against code keeps working when the layout changes.

window.addEventListener('keydown', e => {
  if (e.code === 'NumpadEnter') {
    // Enter
  }
});

code versus key

code is the physical position, the same on a Korean or French keyboard. key is what gets typed and changes — the same spot gives a, A or ㅁ. Use code to ask which spot was pressed, key to ask what was entered.

keyCode has been dropped from the standard. Write new code against code or key; the numbers here are for reading old code.
