jfirebaugh has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents:
== May the state of modifier keys influence MouseEvent.button? ==
Consider:
```
window.document.addEventListener('mousedown', e => console.log(e.button));
```
On the Mac, with default system settings for modifier keys, depressing the primary mouse button with the control key simultaneously depressed produces output that varies between browsers:
* Chrome and Safari produce `0`
* Firefox produces `2`
Does the spec have an opinion on which behavior is correct, or is this left as unspecified platform-dependent/browser-dependent behavior?
