Unfortunately, yes. Handling normal and control keys in the same code is a nightmare, even not taking into account browser quirks. This

http://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkitdomgtk/stable/WebKitDOMKeyboardEvent.html

is years behind that

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent

In particular, we are using the non-standard and deprecated 

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/keyIdentifier

which absolutely doesn't agree with

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/key

and I can't see a way of getting the functionality of the latter (apart of coding it from scratch using the functions that we have, hacking around browser quirks, if even possible).
