Method character

src/AutoNumericHelper.js:361–442

* Return the character from the event key code. * If the KeyboardEvent does not represent a printable character, then the key name is used (ie. 'Meta', 'Shift', 'F1', etc.) * @example character(50) => '2' * * @param {KeyboardEvent} event * @returns {string}

(event)
