onclick will only work with globally defined functions.

Here is a very quick hack that allows you to use a class function.

// Class for `<uio-key>`
class UioKey extends HTMLElement {
  constructor() {
    super();

    let shadow = this.attachShadow({mode: 'open'});
    shadow.innerHTML = '<div><div on-click="eKey">div</div><span>span</span></div>';
    let a = shadow.querySelectorAll('[on-click]');
    a.forEach(
      el => {
        const handlerName = el.getAttribute('on-click');
        el.addEventListener('click', this[handlerName]);
      }
    );
  }

  eKey() {
    window.alert('class  eKey function');
  }
}

// Define our web component
customElements.define('uio-key', UioKey);

<hr/>
<uio-key></uio-key>

I use a custom attribute on-click as a way to grab all elements that want a click handler then I take the value of that attribute and use it as the class function name and pass it into the addEventListener function.

so and what i have to put argument like on-click="ekey(x,y,z)" specialy when i want [this0] to be as part of argument ,wher [this0] is the sub elemnt pointer — محمد ربيع الشيخة, Feb 28 '19 at 08:45

Alternatly to @Intervalia's answer, you could use the getRootNode() method and then the host property to access the Custom Element object from inside the Shadow DOM.

class UioKey extends HTMLElement {
  constructor() {
    super()
    this.attachShadow( { mode: 'open' } )
        .innerHTML = uio-key-temp.innerHTML
  }
  eKey(){ 
    window.alert('class eKey function' ) 
  }
}
customElements.define( 'uio-key', UioKey )

<template id="uioKeyTemp">
    <style> .i { background: gray ; height: 10pt } </style>
    <div class="uio-key">
         <div class="i" onclick="this.getRootNode().host.eKey()"></div>
    </div>
</template>
<uio-key></uio-key>

Note that it's always a good practice to use inline scripts because in some situations they can be disabled (for security reasons).
