Re: [w3c/uievents] "keyCode" is the only way to work with KeyboardEvents now (#267)

@garykac That is not what I need.

Native programs can do something, after the user presses Alt+Ctrl+T. That "T" is the key with a label "T" on the keyboard. It can be anywhere, depending on the keyboard settings.

To make the web as powerful as native programs, it should be possible to detect shortcuts like Alt+Ctrl+T, and by "T" I don't mean any physical key on a specific location, but a key, which would type "T" if Alt and Ctrl were not pressed.

Now, I think it is not possible with "code" and "key" properties of the event. That is why I think you should make "keyCode" equally important, or add a new property, which would allow do things as native programs can do.
