This may be the empty string if the browser or device doesn't know the keyboard's locale. Returns a DOMString representing a locale string indicating the locale the keyboard is configured for. Returns a DOMString representing the key value of the key represented by the event. Returns a boolean value that is true if the event is fired between after compositionstart and before compositionend. Returns a boolean value that is true if the Ctrl key was active when the key event was generated. If you want to display the correct keystrokes to the user, you can use Keyboard.getLayoutMap().
