IE has a slightly different semantics but following Gecko seems to be the right
thing to do.

IE only fires keypress for events for printable characters. So a you will not
get a keypress event for <shift>

IE does not implement which or charCode. It uses keydown/keypress to
distinguish printable characters. The keyCode is the same for 'p' and 'P'.

Another annoyance is the way the events repeats when holding down the key is
different on different platforms. 

IE: keydown repeat
IE: keypress does not repeat
Gecko on Win32: keydown repeat
Gecko on Win32: keypress does not repeat 
Gecko on Mac: keydown does not repeat
Gecko on Mac: keypress repeat
