So you mean application should rely on the "key" attribute(which is a string representation of a key) of KeyBoardEvent object ?

But how to transfer the string value from Qt to WebKit? By adding new property to QKeyEvent?

For private applications we could do change it to use "key" attribute rather than "keyCode", but some interactive tv apps(HbbTV/CEHTML apps) refers "keyCode" property to handle the event. I don't think it is possible to change the HbbTV/CEHTML spec to use "key" :( Sorry incase I misinterpreted your comments.
