https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=25338 Bug ID: 25338 Summary: D3E spec should recommend KeyboardEvent.code mapping of some keys whose label are different from PC's keyboard Product: WebAppsWG Version: unspecified Hardware: Macintosh OS: MacOS X Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: DOM3 Events Assignee: garykac@gmail.com Reporter: masayuki@d-toybox.com QA Contact: public-webapps-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, www-dom@w3.org On Mac, when PC keyboard is corrected, following keys have different label. Mac PC F13 PrintScreen F14 ScrollLock F15 Pause Help Insert *1 Clear NumLock *1 not present on modern Mac keyboard, but there was the key on legacy Mac keyboard, and Sun keyboard's Help key maps kVK_Help I think that we can ignore "backspace" vs. "delete" because Mac's keyboard also has "delete" key on function block with forward delete key's symbol. I.e., the delete key above return key works really as "Backspace" key. So, the problem is, if D3E spec undefined whether browsers should map code value from PC's key name or Mac's key name, there will be compatibility problem between browsers. I believe that browsers on Mac should prefer Mac's keyboard label. The reason is, these keys mentioned above are not work as PC. So, for browser users, they are different keys from PC. Additionally, ordinal Mac users must use Mac's keyboard rather than PC's keyboard. Therefore, I believe that D3E spec should note this, and browsers should map the keys as: Mac Preferred .code value F13 F13 F14 F14 F15 F15 Help Help Clear Clear -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
