https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56761

           Summary: KeyboardEvent keyIdentifier is not propagated to
                    plugins by Chromium
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: wez at chromium.org


Overview:

DOM KeyboardEvents reach plug-ins in Chromium via the WebPluginContainerImpl, which converts them to Chromium's WebKeyboardEvent.  The conversion process doesn't currently propagate the keyIdentifier field (presumably because that is never currently passed to plug-ins).

Steps to Reproduce:

Try to use the keyIdentifier field of the WebKeyboardEvent from plug-in code.

Actual Results:

The keyIdentifier string will be empty.

Expected Results:

The keyIdentifier field should contain a character key-value (e.g. U+0041) or key function name (e.g. "Shift").

Build Date & Platform:

Build 2011-03-21 on Linux w/ Chromium development build.
