I mean that text events such as keypress don't have a virtual key code conceptually - they may not even be initiated by a keyboard. At code level, that corresponds to a zero value.

Why is the semicolon expected to work, in the first place?

Backspace is an example of why this is a very poor place to hardcode key behaviors - it may or may not cause a navigation, but that's decided elsewhere.

> Can we not assume that the string always has a null character?

I'm not sure about that, but I know that it can be longer than 1 character.
