I forgot that keydown is fired on repeats--which doesn't make sense for the event name, but it gives a workaround here.

I need to detect repeats on backspace, not escape, to detect changes to text input fields.

But a correction: IE *doesn't* do this, which I'm guessing is the behavior WebKit's matching.  Since there's no consistency here anyway, I guess fixing this won't really make much difference.

(KeyboardEvent.repeat would be helpful, though unrelated--scripts having to track pressed keys manually is brittle.)
