Yes. The question is whether to try to do something that includes a wide range of keys on a lot of keyboards, or something that only includes the keys on most keyboards. My tendency is for the former, with the clear addition that a DOM implementation is only required to support equivalents for those keys that are actually present. >Also, you mention Unicode, which seems orthogonal to the discussion of >virtual key codes.

"On some querty keyboards" is probably slightly more precise. regards, Martin.
