I did a quick test today with WebKitGTK+ 2.20.1 and Epiphany 3.28.1.1,
and the Google Sheets application seems to work as expected.

What are “s” and “S” supposed to do? For me, cell edit mode is entered
and the letter placed as first character of input — which is the same
behavior I get when using Chromium.

Works fine here. Also Shift+Tab goes back to the “previous” cell (left
of the selected one, the reverse of Tab.)

There is a list of shortcuts here:

  https://support.google.com/docs/answer/181110

I tried all from the beginning to the “Navigate spreadsheet” section.
The only ones that didn't work for me were:

  - Show common keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+/
  - Insert date: Ctrl+;
  - Clear formatting: Ctrl+\

Note that the backslash is particularly difficult to enter for me using
a Spanish keyboard map, and probably Ctrl+\ works fine with other keyboard
layouts. IIRC Epiphany handles Ctrl+/ itself and Ctrl+; is used by GTK+
nowadays to show the emoji input panel.

Probably we want to check the rest of the list a bit more before considering
this resolved as WORKSFORME (or similar), but the current status as of
WebKitGTK+ 2.20.1 is looking pretty good.
