Bug ID: 67367
Summary: VisualEditor: Pawning prevention code in ve.ce.Surface
sometimes prevent legit keypresses from being handled
(e.g. typing "ą” in Polish)
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal

Writing https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/143322 , I realized that the
`ve.ce.isShortcutKey( e )` check in ve.ce.Surface (which rejects every keypress
event where Ctrl or Cmd is pressed) sometimes prevent legit keypresses from
being handled.
To reproduce (in any browser):
* Place cursor on an empty line.
* Input 'ą' ([[ą]]). This is accomplished by pressing AltGr+a (right Alt+a,
Alt+Ctrl+a) when using the "Polish (Programmers)" keyboard layout on Windows 7
(this is the default layout for Polish).
* Type in something else. The 'ą' disappears, because it was never handled by
ve.ce, only by native contenteditable element.
I only tested this on Windows 7, but I believe other operating systems all use
the same method. Other letters with diacritics from the [[Polish alphabet]] are
input in the same way (AltGr + base key), we have nine of them.
On Windows 7 you can enable this keyboard layout by typing "keyboard layout"
into the Start menu, choosing "Change keyboards…" and adding the input method.
