> [2] EventSender::keyDown() does not dispatch a keypress event for control characters, including 'escape'. For example, in chromium...

I checked the specification:

http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#event-type-keypress
> A user agent must dispatch this event when a key is pressed down, if and only if that key normally produces a character value. 

I think it's the reason we don't produce keypress for control characters.
So, using keydown event is very reasonable in this case.
