JS is ok, it’s the DOM APIs that are verbose. I mean this is just to handle the enter key:

    f.addEventListener('keypress',e=>{if(e.keyCode==000) etc()})

Just a fun note: You can replace this

    f.addEventListener('keypress',e=>{...})

With the older but essentially equivalent

    f.onkeypress=e=>{...}

and save 18 characters. You can even use `onkeyup` and save 3 more characters.

Exactly these were the challenges I faced when using plain js
