------------------------------------

             Summary: EventWrapper's  "key" and "char" properties are broken
                 Key: TAP5-2400
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2400
             Project: Tapestry 5
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tapestry-core
    Affects Versions: 5.4
            Reporter: Felix Scheffer


The EventWrapper copies the properties "key" and "char"  from the native event but KeyboardEvent has neither a "key" nor a "char" property in Chromium.

According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent "char" is only supported by the IE and "has been dropped from DOM Level 3 Events".

According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent.key neither Chrome nor Opera nor Webkit supports the "key" property at the moment


I think "char" should be removed from the EventWrapper and there should be a fallback solution using "keyCode"  when the browser does not support "key"

There is a proposal for a "code" property but it's still a working draft:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent.code

I checked with Prototype and jQuery but there are no real differences. jQuery wraps the native event with jQuery.Event but the actual values for these properties are the same.
