无法让 keydown / keyup 与指针锁定/全屏一起使用

Question

My problem is that I recently started to change my HTML5 webapp to use fullscreen + pointer lock instead of dragging the mouse in the window. The app uses keyboard in addition to mouse, and everything was working fine previously. However, now I can't get any kind of keypresses to work. Pointer locked mouse works perfectly.

Previously I listened to keypresses like this:

document.onkeydown = handleKeyDown;
document.onkeyup = handleKeyUp;

where handleKeyDown and Up are functions, for example:

function handleKeyUp(event) {
    doStuffWith(event.keyCode);
}

Now, I have added keyboard listeners right next to my mousemove listener:

document.addEventListener('keyup', handleKeyUp(event), false);
document.addEventListener('keydown', handleKeyDown(event), false);

where handleKey * are the same as above, but doStuffWith doesn't do anything. It seems to get some undefined events and nothing else. This is probably a fairly elementary problem, but I have a hard time solving it. Most examples and tutorials I found with Google don't use addEventListener but instead the old style like I used previously.

I am very grateful for any help.

edit // A clarification: since events are undefined, doStuffWith doesn't get called at all, because the execution stops when trying to read .keyCode of undefined

The main problem is that, according to the following MDN page, alphanumeric keys are disabled in full-screen mode:

There are also a couple of issues with your code. In the the line

document.addEventListener('keyup', handleKeyUp(event), false);

... you have two problems: first, the second parameter need to be a reference to a function. It's actually a reference to undefined because you're calling the function immediately and passing in the result rather than passing in a function. Second, in browsers that support addEventListener , the Event object is automatically passed into the event listener function. What you want, therefore, is:

function handleKeyUp(e) {
    doStuffWith(e.keyCode);
}

document.addEventListener('keyup', handleKeyUp, false);
