--- Comment #5 from Pierre Ossman <ossman at cendio.se> ---
This is about the "code" field, not "key". So the generated symbol isn't terribly interesting.

How the events for these keys should look like is already well established. The standard¹ even has pictures. And every other browser follows it, so it's fairly clear that Safari/WebKit is doing things incorrectly.

As for practical effects, it only affects pages that care about physical keys, rather than symbols. So likely games and remote desktop clients. Which is why we're filing this report. If you press these keys in noVNC, the wrong key is sent to the server, and the wrong symbol is generated in the remote session. E.g. you get a "<" instead of a "§" on a Swedish keyboard.
