Understand the result

Testing individual keyboard keys

The unique-key counter increases only when the browser receives a key code. This makes it useful for checking a laptop keyboard or an external keyboard one key at a time without claiming that unpressed keys work.

Key labels depend on the active keyboard layout. Some system shortcuts and secure key combinations remain reserved by the browser or operating system and cannot be tested reliably on a webpage.

Practical fixes

Troubleshooting

A key is missing

Try the key in another application and inspect the keyboard for debris or a hardware switch.

Unexpected key name

Browser key labels can reflect your active operating-system keyboard layout.

Shortcuts trigger

Some browser and operating-system shortcuts cannot be fully intercepted by a webpage.
