Maybe you're a freak of nature who's memorized the entire Unicode table. Maybe you already have a handy dandy keycode chart plastered somewhere on your cubicle wall.
Then again, maybe you don't.
I frequently find myself searching for keycodes when I'm writing keyboard listeners; sure, it's a simple matter of glancing at the internet, but for those (e.g., people like me) that can't be bothered with such things, I threw together the following little application (click here to download):

The EXE is around 3 M because (I can only assume!) the projector makes it so -- the SWF itself (included in the ZIP) is roughly 20 K.
To use it, just launch it and start mashing your keyboard! It's not terribly smart (it thinks the regular plus sign [+] is a double angle bracket [»]) -- and decidely sparse -- but if all you want to know is "What's the keycode for 'y'?", keyc will definitely do the trick.
