Fine, 'textchanged' solves your problem. But the bug revealed by this thread still remains. So just to 'round up' (also with regards to HTML5) this discussion with a working method for getting keyCodes and characterCodes. One could also use javascript for that, see here, also for a good explanat

Hi all. Yes that's the point: *The keysDown* return the correct (hardware) keyCode. Tiemo is right, there is a bug introduced around LC 8. From the dictionary: "The keycodes returned by the keysDown function are the same as those passed as parameters with the rawKeyDown and rawKeyUp messages." T
