Can you construct a layout test for this using eventSender?
Comment 4 James Su 2009-12-07 20:55:37 PST
This fix is chromium specific, should I add a layout test in chromium tree?

Since chromium tests are eventually moving into svn.webkit.org I'm not sure why the test wouldn't just go there.  I guess since the chromium test results aren't in svn.webkit.org yet, maybe it makes sense to just put it in svn.chromium.org for now...
Comment 8 James Su 2009-12-08 19:16:52 PST
There is already a layout test for access key: LayoutTests/fast/forms/access-key.html. I'll check if it works with chromium.

This test has been passing on our Mac test_shell with or without this change. So, I think we need another test that fails without this change but passes with this change, right? Nevertheless, I'm not a WebKit guru and I may be wrong.

WebKit tests are executed using testshell. To test for this patch, we need to test the plumbing between chrome and webkit, which can't be done with a layout test (at least not until we run layout tests using chrome, which is currently not planned i believe).

This would have to be tested in a browser test as far as I understand.

I'm afraid I don't think so.
Our EventSendingController calls WebViewImpl::handleInputEvent() to send a key event. So, if we add a new modifier string "systemKey" so eventSender.keyDown() can manually set/reset the isSystemKey value of a WebInputEvent, I think we can write a new layout test that fails without this change but passes with this change. That is, we need to change DumpRenderTree of WebKit as well as our test_shell.
I sometimes changes DumpRenderTree (or TestShell) to write layout tests for such cases. Am I doing something wrong?

I'm investigating why the test passes on our Mac TestShell. Will give you update asap.
Comment 13 James Su 2009-12-09 00:39:57 PST
Ok, it's a bug of chromium's test_shell, which wrongly marks keys with ctrl+alt modifiers as system keys. It's correct on Windows and Linux, but not Mac.
I'll submit a CL to fix it.

Hi All,

I am using
Webkit5.8 with annulen webkit5.212.1
Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2

I am still experiencing issues with accesskeys not working. The last comment of this post is dated "2009-12-09 00:39:57 PST". So i guess this issue would have been resolved.

Can someone please clarify whether this issue is fixed or not with latest Webkit version?
If it is still not fixed. Any workaround or patch for the same will be helpful

Thanks,
Surinder
