Description Fabian Jakobs 2006-11-27 01:22:35 PST
None of the modifier keys fire any key events. This includes:

* Alt
* Shift
* Control
* Meta

FireFox fires keydown and keyup
Opera fires keydown, keypress (not repeated) and keyup
IE 6/7 fires keydown and keyup

I think WebKit should fire at least keydown and keyup event.
I'm not sure about keypress.
