Description Pierre Ossman 2019-10-31 07:50:58 PDT 
WebKit/Safari has a different behaviour compared to Chrome and Firefox when it comes to the events generated when pressing e.g. Ctrl+Alt+e on a Swedish keyboard.

The keydown event for the e will have key set to "é" on Chrome and Firefox, but plain "e" in Safari. We would very much like to have a consistent behaviour no matter which browser a user is using. The Chrome/Firefox way makes some sense given that Alt+e gives you "é".
