Proper use of useEffect with KeyboardEvent eventListener

If there is state in my onKeyDown function which is set in document.addEventListener("keydown", onKeyDown), how would i keep my state within onKeyDown from getting stale?
Should it be added as a dependency in my useEffect? For example:

useEffect(() => {
    document.addEventListener("keydown", onKeyDown);

    return () => document.removeEventListener("keydown", onKeyDown);
  }, [myState]);

useEffect(() => {
    document.addEventListener("keydown", onKeyDown);

    return () => document.removeEventListener("keydown", onKeyDown);
  }, [myState]);
