[Bug 18867] Web developers cannot know whether a key event will cause text input actually

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18867

--- Comment #4 from Egor Khalimonenko <termi1uc1@gmail.com> ---
I don't understand the desire to bring the same value to "key" and "char"
properties. And I don't understand the desire to make our (js-developers) work
harder. What are good reasons to modify "key" value when one of modifier key
pressed? We have crtlKey, shiftKey and altKey for that. We have "char" property
for the original input symbol. So why I need to write extra code to detect to
key I need, while I have good-old "keyCode" value.

So instead use the new API, I will continue to use the old one.
