Apple Touch Bar keys not firing keypress event
Is there another event I can listen for when I want to listen for an Apple Touch Bar keypress? Specifically, I would like to listen for the Escape keypress event.
My code is working on "regular" keyboards, with actual escape keys, but not with the Touch Bar.
listenForKeypressEvent = (e) => {
console.log(e);
if (e.keyCode === 27 || e.key === "Escape") {
// do the things
}
}
window.addEventListener('keypress', listenForKeypressEvent);

Using keydown instead of keypress works.
window.addEventListener('keydown', listenForKeypressEvent);
