Angular 2 HostListener keypress detect escape key?

Try it with a keydown or keyup event to capture the Esc key. In essence, you can replace document:keypress with document:keydown.escape:

@HostListener('document:keydown.escape', ['$event']) onKeydownHandler(event: KeyboardEvent) {
    console.log(event);
}
