Use the following html to reproduce:
<html>
<body onkeydown="alert('event.keyIdentifier = ' + event.keyIdentifier);">
</body>
</html>
Press a control key, for example "Shift".
On Windows (Webkit 537.36), event.keyIdentifier == "Shift".
On Linux (Webkit 537.36), event.keyIdentifier == "U+00A0" (for LShift) or "U+00A1" (for RShift).
On Linux (Webkit nightly 601.1), event.keyIdentifier == "U+0000" for both LShift and RShift.
According to the document below, I believe key identifiers must be textual, i.e. "Shift" in the example above.
So Webkit on Windows behaves properly, but it should be fixed for the Linux platform.
