47,912 PointsYes. For example, using keyup, if you held down on a key, the code you wanted to run wouldn't run until you let go of the key, but the code will run as soon as you put your finger on the key if you use keydown. keypress works exactly the same as keydown, except it includes non-printing keys like Shift or esc
