The function has a lot of branches for different browsers. For WebKit, it does
basically the following:

window.event.keyCode = <new code>;
window.event.preventDefault();
return true;

I don't think changing event.keyCode would have had any effect in WebKit. But
the preventDefault call is what blocks typing.

Firefox takes an entirely different code path. I don't think we can reasonably
make this function work, so moving to Evangelism.
