No.

Lallous used some shorthand here to make the code cross-platform.

Js has on some platforms an "event" object. Which on some platforms has a "which" property. He's essetially saying with this line

chr = event.which ? event.which : event.keyCode;

if event.which is supported then assign whatever event.which is to the variable "chr" if it is not supported then make "chr" equal to whatever event.keyCode is.
