           Summary: [Chromium] Numpad keys and a manu key don't work in

           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC

            Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Copied from <http://crbug.com/19106>.)

Chrome Version       : 3.0.197.11-r22553
OS + version : Debian Lenny
CPU architecture (32-bit / 64-bit): 32
window manager : KDE
URLs (if applicable) :
Behavior in Firefox 3.x (if applicable): Numpad arrow keys work
Behavior in Chrome for Windows (optional): Numpad arrow keys work

Goto to any page and just try to use the numpad keys to navigate (with the
NumLock off). They don't work. They DO however work in the address bar. 

The numpad arrows work in all other applications, including GTK ones (e.g.
Firefox).

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot and
backtrace if possible.

WebCore::windowsKeyCodeForKeyEvent() (in
"WebCore/platform/chromium/KeyCodeConversionGtk.cpp") doesn't have mappings for
many numpad keys (e.g. GDK_KP_Up, GDK_KP_Down, etc.) and cannot send numpad-key
events to a web page. Neither does "WebCore/platform/gtk/KeyEventGdk.cpp" have
them.

Also, they map GDK_Menu to VKEY_MENU, which is a virtual key-code for alt keys.
To improve compatibility with Windows, it is better to map GDK_Menu to
VKEY_APPS, which is a virtual key-code for a menu key.
