Input filtering
<h2>jQuery input filter showcase</h2>
<p>Supports Copy+Paste, Drag+Drop, keyboard shortcuts, context menu operations, non-typeable keys, the caret position, different keyboard layouts, and <a href="https://caniuse.com/#feat=input-event" target="_blank">all browsers since IE 9</a>.</p>
<p>There is also a <a href="https://jsfiddle.net/emkey08/zgvtjc51" target="_blank">pure JavaScript version</a> of this (without jQuery).</p>
