<pre>Entering text into a contenteditable=true HTML element by pressing one of the keys ^, ´, ` on the Mac (German keyboard) starts a composition session. If one presses a second key which won't create a single character with the first one (e.g. â), the following keypress event contains the data of the key that started the composition (not the data of the pressed key).
Example:
Use the web page www.danilatos.com/event-test/ExperimentTest.html which records the events that the browser provides if one enter text into a div with contenteditable=true.
1. Set the cursor into the "Editing" field
2. Press ´ which starts the composition
3. Press v which ends the composition
4. Look at the event recorded
You can see the following events (part of the whole event list):
...
keyup 86 (V)
input
DOMSubtreeModified
DOMCharacterDataModified
dom axctually changed
textInput
keypress 180 (´)
keydown 86 (V)
input
DOMSubtreeModified
DOMCharacterDataModified
dom actually changed
DOMSubtreeModified
DOMCharacterDataModified
dom actually changed
textInput
compositionend
...
The issue is related to the keypress event which reports that ´ was entered although V (correctly reported by keydown/keyup) would be correct. The properties which, keyCode, charCode contain the value of the compositionend data property. If one would use ^ to start the composition the following keypress event would contain 94 (^).</pre>
