When developing for a Windows device, the likelihood of you needing to support a rich keyboarding experience in your app is very high - this API allows you to customize and control how keyboarding works on your custom or native components.

const App = class App extends React.Component {
  state = {
    lastKeyDown
  }

  private _onKeyDown = (event: IKeyboardEvent) => {
    this.setState({ lastKeyDown: event.nativeEvent.key });
  };

  render() {
    return (
      <View onKeyDown={this._onKeyDown} />
    );
  }
}

export default App;
