I'm currently looking at KeyEventMac.mm where it creates a
PlatformKeyboardEvent from an NSEvent. 

If I print out the NSEvent going into here, I see:

NSEvent: type=KeyDown loc=(0,1158) time=56678.2 flags=0x100108 win=0x0
winNum=13159 ctxt=0x0 chars="k" unmodchars="t" repeat=0 keyCode=40"


In this case, I think the modified chars reflect the intent of the user. There
may be other cases like option-e on the mac (dead key), where it might be
desirable to send "e"=unmodified rather than ""=modified on to javascript. Does
anyone depend on this behavior?

I'm still trying to track down where in code the calculation of the
keyCode/keyIdentifier to report to javascript is.
