You're confusing "key codes" with "characters". Key codes (as well as
keydown and keyup events) are really about keyboard *keys* that you
depress (or at least should be, as it differs a bit amongst browsers).
This was really confusing in GWT 1.5 and previous versions, since GWT
1.6 and the new events, it's a bit clearer, but still somewhat buggy
(see issue 3753:

)
