Yes, I tried writing a layout test using eventSender. It didn't work since EventeSender::keyDown is unable to simulate a WebKeyboardEvent with keycode = GDK_Meta, modifier=Shift|Alt

Yes, I tried in Firefox, Opera and its working fine. Firefox do not map the keycode to Windows keycode directly, They find the right keycode for a GdkEventKey if the key event has a modifier.

Chrome key code conversion does the same in above case.
