Summary Incorrect event.keyIdentifier value for control keys on Linux

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. http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-DOM-Level-3-Events-20060413/keyset.html#KeySet-Set-h2
