keycode 13 is for which key

Question

Which is the key on the keyboard having the keycode as 13?

switch(key) {
  case 37: 
    $.keynav.goLeft();
    break;
  case 38: 
    $.keynav.goUp();
    break;
  case 39: 
    $.keynav.goRight();
    break;
  case 40: 
    $.keynav.goDown();
    break;
  case 13: 
    $.keynav.activate();
    break;
}

The `key` variable in this `switch` is either `e.which` or `e.keyCode`. Those two are deprecated, so you should use `e.key` instead, which will also make your code more readable by turning those numbers into descriptive strings: `ArrayUp`, `ArrowRight`, `ArrowDown`, `ArrowLeft` and `Enter`. You can check out the key codes and identifiers for any key by just pressing them on this site: https://keyjs.dev — Danziger, Sep 27 '20 at 07:43

Check an ASCII table.

It stands for CR, or Carriage Return, AKA the Return key.

I like this answer better than others because it shows HOW you knew that 13 was a carriage return. I found https://www.ascii-code.com/ easier to use. – Ryan Aug 20 '20 at 18:38

function myFunction(event) {
  var x = event.charCode;
  document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "The Unicode value is: " + x;
}

<p>Keycode 13 is: </p> 
<button>Enter</button>
<p>Press a key on the keyboard in the input field to get the Unicode character code of the pressed key.</p>
<b>You can test in below</b>

<input type="text" size="40" onkeypress="myFunction(event)">

<p id="demo"></p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> The charCode property is not supported in IE8 and earlier versions.</p>
