The problem is not that keypress events are not dispatched. The problem is that
webkit browsers seem to dispatch the events inconsistently. Here's a sample of
behaviors:
Keystroke Chrome (Windows) Events Safari (Windows) Events
Ctrl+A KEYDOWN, KEYUP KEYDOWN, KEYUP
Ctrl+B KEYDOWN, KEYPRESS, KEYUP KEYDOWN, KEYPRESS, KEYUP
Ctrl+X KEYDOWN, KEYUP KEYDOWN, KEYUP
Ctrl+D KEYDOWN, KEYPRESS KEYDOWN
In both browsers all Ctrl+Shift+key combinations generate a keypress.
It doesn't much matter whether Webkit fires a keypress in these instances or
not, but it would be very helpful if it had the same behavior for Ctrl+key
combinations.
These tests were done using the tool at
