------------------------------------
Summary: EventWrapper's "key" and "char" properties are broken
Key: TAP5-2400
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2400
Project: Tapestry 5
Issue Type: Bug
Components: tapestry-core
Affects Versions: 5.4
Reporter: Felix Scheffer
The EventWrapper copies the properties "key" and "char" from the native event
but KeyboardEvent has neither a "key" nor a "char" property in Chromium.
According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent
"char" is only supported by the IE and "has been dropped from DOM Level 3
Events".
According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent.key
neither Chrome nor Opera nor Webkit supports the "key" property at the moment
I think "char" should be removed from the EventWrapper and there should be a
fallback solution using "keyCode" when the browser does not support "key"
There is a proposal for a "code" property but it's still a working draft:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent.code
I checked with Prototype and jQuery but there are no real differences. jQuery
wraps the native event with jQuery.Event but the actual values for these
properties are the same.
