 Allows you to find the DOM node for a Slate [`Node`](../models/node.md) by passing its `key` string. Modelled after React's built-in `findDOMNode` helper.
 
+### `resetKeyGenerator`
+`resetkeygenerator() => Void`
+
+Resets Slate's internal key generating function to its default state. This is useful for server-side rendering, or anywhere you want to ensure fresh, deterministic creation of keys.

 ### `setKeyGenerator`
