Hi
Something can be done while DOM3 spreads out for web developers.

Currently, as the first comment says, there is no way to know if the altGr key is pressed.

Firefox fixed this problem recently in their release 15

This problem affect some javascripts application, like noVNC or guacamole
(https://github.com/kanaka/noVNC/issues/21, http://guac-dev.org/trac/ticket/136 )


The javascript test page is http://guac-dev.org/pub/tests/key-event-test.html

Currently webkit based browsers return a keyCode 0 for the AltGr Key. Firefox, since version 15 return the value 225.

Can a patch be made to return the same value for webkit browsers ?
