Using keycodes for '+' and '-'


Hi I have the following code in my Cesium project and would like to know how I can use other keys other than the characters. Here is what I have at the minute:

function getFlagForKeyCode(keyCode) {
switch (keyCode) {
case 'W'.charCodeAt(0):
    return 'moveForward';
case 'S'.charCodeAt(0):
    return 'moveBackward';
case 'Q'.charCodeAt(0):
    return 'moveUp';
case 'E'.charCodeAt(0):
    return 'moveDown';
case 'D'.charCodeAt(0):
    return 'moveRight';
case 'A'.charCodeAt(0):
    return 'moveLeft';
default:
    return undefined;
}

}

I want to be able to use the - and + keys. How can I achieve this?


Solution

  • Up, down, left and right use the arrow keys which are codes 37-40 and the + and - keys are 187 and 189:

    function getFlagForKeyCode(keyCode) {
    switch (keyCode) {
    case 187:
        return 'moveForward';
    case 189:
        return 'moveBackward';
    case 38:
        return 'moveUp';
    case 40:
        return 'moveDown';
    case 39:
        return 'moveRight';
    case 37:
        return 'moveLeft';
    default:
        return undefined;
    }
    

    }
