Description

Is there a way to retrieve THE key pressed in case of single key? Because I'm not sure I wouldn't interfere with jwerty events, I'm trying to use jwerty for all my keys management. In which case, it happens I need to get the key pressed. How can I? I can do "if jwerty.is('x')", but it can be tedious.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the jwerty source code to understand how key events are handled and how `jwerty.is` works. Then design a new method or utility to retrieve the pressed key directly, possibly by extending the event handler or adding a global listener.
