.on('input') jquery event

can it replace the following event listeners: keydown/keyup/keypress/change?

I read this link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15727324/for-a-javascript-autocomplete-search-box-must-we-use-the-input-event-handler

and it seems like using 'input' as the event listener is like the ultimate event listener.

Be aware that the stack overflow post is referring to Vanilla JS and you are working with JQuery which is handling events in a different way.
Refere to the docs: https://api.jquery.com/on/

ok idk what vanilla JS is and i already looked at the docs and it DOES NOT contain ANY INFO on the 'input' event listener. so can you please explain what the 'input' event listener is listening to
