In JavaScript, the best event to listen for in this scenario would be the keydown event, specifically detecting when the space bar key is pressed.

Here's an example code snippet:

document.addEventListener('keydown', (event) => {
  if (event.key === ' ') { // space bar key
    // Make the character jump
    kiyana.character.jump();
  }
});

The keydown is triggered when a key is pressed, and the event.key property allows you to detect which key was pressed. By checking if the pressed key is the space bar (' '), you can trigger the character's jump action.

Note that you could also do the keypress event, but keydown is generally preferred for detecting key presses, as it's triggered earlier in the key press cycle.
