📌 What are JavaScript Keyboard Events?
Keyboard events are triggered when a user interacts with the keyboard, such as pressing or releasing keys. JavaScript provides event handlers to detect and respond to these events in real-time. 🔐
These events are commonly used in form validations, keyboard shortcuts, and games.
