It seems to work differently on Windows (on NT anyway). KeyUps and
rawKeyUps get sent even without an active field. A series rawKeyUps
and rawKeyDowns get sent when the key is depressed for a long time,
matching the normal key repeat rate. This happens on cards with no
controls of any kind. All keys seem to get detected, including the
shift key. Is this a Mac limitation or perhaps a bug in the Mac
engine?
