## Properties

|  Property | Type | Description |
|  --- | --- | --- |
|  [autoRepeat](./puppeteer.protocol.input.dispatchkeyeventrequest.autorepeat.md) | boolean | Whether the event was generated from auto repeat (default: false). |
|  [code](./puppeteer.protocol.input.dispatchkeyeventrequest.code.md) | string | Unique DOM defined string value for each physical key (e.g., 'KeyA') (default: ""). |
|  [commands](./puppeteer.protocol.input.dispatchkeyeventrequest.commands.md) | string\[\] | Editing commands to send with the key event (e.g., 'selectAll') (default: \[\]). These are related to but not equal the command names used in <code>document.execCommand</code> and NSStandardKeyBindingResponding. See https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/master:third\_party/blink/renderer/core/editing/commands/editor\_command\_names.h for valid command names. |
|  [isKeypad](./puppeteer.protocol.input.dispatchkeyeventrequest.iskeypad.md) | boolean | Whether the event was generated from the keypad (default: false). |
|  [isSystemKey](./puppeteer.protocol.input.dispatchkeyeventrequest.issystemkey.md) | boolean | Whether the event was a system key event (default: false). |
|  [key](./puppeteer.protocol.input.dispatchkeyeventrequest.key.md) | string | Unique DOM defined string value describing the meaning of the key in the context of active modifiers, keyboard layout, etc (e.g., 'AltGr') (default: ""). |
|  [keyIdentifier](./puppeteer.protocol.input.dispatchkeyeventrequest.keyidentifier.md) | string | Unique key identifier (e.g., 'U+0041') (default: ""). |
|  [location](./puppeteer.protocol.input.dispatchkeyeventrequest.location.md) | [integer](./puppeteer.protocol.integer.md) | Whether the event was from the left or right side of the keyboard. 1=Left, 2=Right (default: 0). |
|  [modifiers](./puppeteer.protocol.input.dispatchkeyeventrequest.modifiers.md) | [integer](./puppeteer.protocol.integer.md) | Bit field representing pressed modifier keys. Alt=1, Ctrl=2, Meta/Command=4, Shift=8 (default: 0). |
|  [nativeVirtualKeyCode](./puppeteer.protocol.input.dispatchkeyeventrequest.nativevirtualkeycode.md) | [integer](./puppeteer.protocol.integer.md) | Native virtual key code (default: 0). |
|  [text](./puppeteer.protocol.input.dispatchkeyeventrequest.text.md) | string | Text as generated by processing a virtual key code with a keyboard layout. Not needed for for <code>keyUp</code> and <code>rawKeyDown</code> events (default: "") |
|  [timestamp](./puppeteer.protocol.input.dispatchkeyeventrequest.timestamp.md) | [TimeSinceEpoch](./puppeteer.protocol.input.timesinceepoch.md) | Time at which the event occurred. |
|  [type](./puppeteer.protocol.input.dispatchkeyeventrequest.type.md) | ('keyDown' \| 'keyUp' \| 'rawKeyDown' \| 'char') | Type of the key event. (DispatchKeyEventRequestType enum) |
|  [unmodifiedText](./puppeteer.protocol.input.dispatchkeyeventrequest.unmodifiedtext.md) | string | Text that would have been generated by the keyboard if no modifiers were pressed (except for shift). Useful for shortcut (accelerator) key handling (default: ""). |
|  [windowsVirtualKeyCode](./puppeteer.protocol.input.dispatchkeyeventrequest.windowsvirtualkeycode.md) | [integer](./puppeteer.protocol.integer.md) | Windows virtual key code (default: 0). |
