           Summary: gobject bindings need access to keyCode on
                    KeyboardEvents!
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: lkcl at lkcl.net


this is part of the split of #16401 into smaller patches
as part of an agreement recommended by david.

take this lightly, please, but whoever thought that you could do language
bindings without having access to keyCodes ... honestly, it's just so daft! 
and, if there _are_ workarounds that get at the same information... honestly,
why make developers' lives damn awkward.  just publish the same consistent API
and be done with it, for goodness sake! :)

anyway: it can be seen from the IDL itself that the exposed initKeyboardEvent
function doesn't match up with the W3C DOM spec, so any arguments made - and
there have been several, by reviewers - that Webkit language bindings stick
religiously to the W3C spec are moot.
