key press support #96

Why is this library based on keydown and keyup events and not on keypress. could you please brief the drawback or unavailability of features with keypress.

Keydown and keyup events allow us to be more comprehensive. It gives the person using this library more choice about when events fire. If you want to mimic keypress behavior, you should use the keyup handler for your implementation details.
