KeyboardEvent.keyCode deprecated. What does this mean in practice?

According to MDN, we should most definitely not be using the .keyCode property. It is deprecated:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/keyCode

On W3 school, this fact is played down and there is only a side note saying that .keyCode is provided for compatibility only and that the latest version of the DOM Events Specification recommend using the .key property instead.

The problem is that .key is not supported by browsers, so what should we using? Is there something I’m missing?
