The event.key value is "Unidentified" for Escape and NumLock, and for numpad keys other than Enter when numlock is on.

And for apparently every key, event.code is an empty string.

Sample code:

<body>
<h1>Press a key</h1>
<div id="output"></div>
<script>
document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
  document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = `
    key: ${event.key}<br>
    code: ${event.code}<br>
    which: ${event.which}<br>
    keyCode: ${event.keyCode}<br>
  `;
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
