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.

Fixed in r27372 by Oliver (we do not fire keypress).
