I'm trying to clean up some inconsistencies with when keypress events are dispatched.
WebKit's key event model is modeled to be compatible with Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer does not fire keypress for Ctrl+key [1] Safari Win does not fire any keypress events when ctrl is held down Safari Mac fires keypress events when command is held down Safari Mac fires keypress events when ctrl is held down Chromium Win fires keypress events for some keys when ctrl is held down Chromium Linux fires keypress events for some keys when ctrl is held down (matches chromium windows) Chromium Mac does not fire keypress events when command is held down Chromium Mac does not fire keypress events when ctrl is held down There are two possible solutions to this problem. 1. Always fire keypress events no matter what modifiers are held down 2. Do not fire keypress events unless content would be generated [1] IE8 fires keypress events for Ctrl+G,I,M,U,V,X,Y,Z in non editable mode and fewer depending on what kind of editable region has focus. -- erik _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
