I see that the event system has a logic for doing something when a geometry object is clicked with the mouse but I do not see anything for when pressing a keyboard key instead.

How would you do this?

Next question would be how a HTML button pressed with the mouse could trigger a change too.

Like changing the material of a mesh object as an example.

Your puzzles are correct except for one small detail. Replace “keypress” with “keyup”.

Enable in parent doc like in the last two puzzles. When embedded in a frame the app’s page (document) is practically never in focus and doesn’t “hear” key events.

And yes, you’d better avoid using keypress and keydown. They are recurring events while keyup occurs only once.

Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.

If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.
