           Summary: Add shiftLeft property compatibility
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525.x (Safari 3.1)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dford at cnsvs.com

We at CNS Vital Signs would like to request that the shiftLeft property for the
keydown and keyup events be implemented in the Safari web browser, WebKit.

CNS Vital Signs has developed software that presents a series of computerized
neurocognitive tests that are designed to be used as a routine part of a
clinical practice, as a research instrument, and in schools or workplaces where
health and safety are an issue.  The CNS Vital Signs test battery offers 54
languages and has been utilized as a research tool in over 35 countries world
wide.  The tests run on a PC and are designed to collect responses from
patients and calculate performance scores based on the accuracy and timing of
the response.  The original program was a stand-alone application that is
downloaded and installed on the PC. We have recently released a web version of
the same program.

One of the tests originally written makes use of the right and left shift keys.
 Patients are asked to press the left shift key or the right shift key to
respond to a presented rule.  Currently, only Internet Explorer has implemented
the shiftLeft property for the keydown and keyup events.  Our pharmacutical
customers require the web version of our test be identical in nature to the
local version, so we have had to restrict all web deployments to support
Internet Explorer only.

We have programmed the web application to use the right and left arrow keys for
other browsers but we have had to restrict it's use to clinical practice use.

Thanks for considering our request.
