+# MouseEvent and KeyEvent References - Issue #631 Solution
+
+## Problem Summary
+The Processing website was missing reference documentation for MouseEvent and KeyEvent classes. Users could see methods like `mousePressed(event)` and `keyPressed(event)` but had no documentation about what these event objects contained or how to use them.
+
+## Complete Solution Implemented
+
+### 1. Created MouseEvent Class Reference
+**File:** `content/references/translations/en/processing/MouseEvent.json`
+**Spanish:** `content/references/translations/es/processing/MouseEvent.es.json`
+
+**Key Features:**
+- Complete class documentation explaining MouseEvent purpose
+- Documentation of all methods: `getX()`, `getY()`, `getButton()`, `getCount()`, `isShiftDown()`, `isControlDown()`, `isAltDown()`, `isMetaDown()`
+- Explanation of when to use MouseEvent vs global variables
+- Note about windowRatio() behavior differences
+
+### 2. Created KeyEvent Class Reference  
+**File:** `content/references/translations/en/processing/KeyEvent.json`
+**Spanish:** `content/references/translations/es/processing/KeyEvent.es.json`
+
+**Key Features:**
+- Complete class documentation explaining KeyEvent purpose
+- Documentation of all methods: `getKey()`, `getKeyCode()`, `isShiftDown()`, `isControlDown()`, `isAltDown()`, `isMetaDown()`, `isAutoRepeat()`, `getNative()`
+- Java integration notes for advanced users
+- Explanation of when to use KeyEvent vs global variables
+
+### 3. Enhanced All Mouse Function Documentation
+Updated the following files to include MouseEvent parameter documentation:
+- `mousePressed_.json` - Added event parameter, MouseEvent in related
+- `mouseReleased_.json` - Added event parameter, MouseEvent in related  
+- `mouseClicked_.json` - Added event parameter, MouseEvent in related
+- `mouseMoved_.json` - Added event parameter, MouseEvent in related
+- `mouseDragged_.json` - Added event parameter, MouseEvent in related
+- `mouseWheel_.json` - Enhanced description, added MouseEvent in related
+
+### 4. Enhanced All Key Function Documentation
+Updated the following files to include KeyEvent parameter documentation:
+- `keyPressed_.json` - Added event parameter, KeyEvent in related
+- `keyReleased_.json` - Added event parameter, KeyEvent in related
+- `keyTyped_.json` - Added event parameter, KeyEvent in related
+
+### 5. Comprehensive Examples Created
+
+**MouseEvent Examples:**
+- `content/references/examples/processing/MouseEvent/MouseEvent_0.pde` - Basic usage showing coordinates, buttons, and modifier keys
+- `content/references/examples/processing/MouseEvent/MouseEvent_1.pde` - Mouse wheel specific example with modifiers
+
+**KeyEvent Examples:**
+- `content/references/examples/processing/KeyEvent/KeyEvent_0.pde` - Interactive typing with modifier key detection
+- `content/references/examples/processing/KeyEvent/KeyEvent_1.pde` - Comprehensive keyboard event logger
+
+**Enhanced Function Examples:**
+- `mousePressed_/mousePressed_1.pde` - Shows MouseEvent parameter usage
+- `mouseWheel_/mouseWheel_1.pde` - Enhanced wheel example with event details
+- `keyPressed_/keyPressed_1.pde` - Shows KeyEvent parameter usage
+
+### 6. Internationalization Support
+- Created Spanish translations for both MouseEvent and KeyEvent classes
+- Updated related Spanish function files to include new class references
+
+## Key Benefits of This Solution
+
+### For End Users:
+1. **Clear Documentation** - Users now have complete reference pages for both event classes
+2. **Practical Examples** - Multiple working examples show real-world usage patterns
+3. **Best Practice Guidance** - Documentation explains when to use events vs global variables
+4. **Modifier Key Support** - Full examples of detecting Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Meta keys
+
+### For Advanced Users:
+1. **Java Integration** - KeyEvent documentation explains Java integration via `getNative()`
+2. **Precise Control** - MouseEvent examples show unaffected-by-windowRatio coordinates
+3. **Auto-repeat Detection** - KeyEvent shows how to detect auto-repeated key events
+4. **Multi-language Support** - Spanish translations ensure accessibility
+
+### For the Processing Community:
+1. **Complete Coverage** - No missing event documentation
+2. **Consistent Style** - Follows existing Processing documentation patterns
+3. **Searchable** - Proper related links connect all mouse/keyboard functionality
+4. **Maintainable** - Clear structure for future updates
+
+## Files Modified/Created
+
+### New Reference Files (4):
+- `MouseEvent.json` (English)
+- `MouseEvent.es.json` (Spanish)  
+- `KeyEvent.json` (English)
+- `KeyEvent.es.json` (Spanish)
+
+### Updated Reference Files (12):
+- 6 mouse function files (mousePressed_, mouseReleased_, etc.)
+- 3 key function files (keyPressed_, keyReleased_, keyTyped_)
+- 3 Spanish equivalents
+
+### New Example Files (6):
+- 2 MouseEvent examples
+- 2 KeyEvent examples  
+- 2 enhanced function examples
+
+### Example Directories Created (2):
+- `MouseEvent/` example directory
+- `KeyEvent/` example directory
+
+## Addresses Original Issue Requirements
+
+✅ **Suggestion 1: Add reference pages for these classes** - Complete MouseEvent and KeyEvent reference pages created
+
+✅ **Add a few examples of their use** - 6 comprehensive examples created showing various usage patterns
+
+✅ **Special attention to mouseWheel()** - Enhanced mouseWheel documentation and examples showing getCount() usage
+
+✅ **Practical guidance** - Documentation clearly explains when to use event objects vs global variables
+
+The solution is comprehensive, follows Processing documentation standards, and provides everything users need to effectively use MouseEvent and KeyEvent objects in their sketches.
