Bug 65966 – Special keyCode from GTK layer ignored

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Component: WebKitGTK

Greetings,
I use a GTK window with buttons and a webkit window. I send to the webkit window a keydown emulation with a special keycode ('403'). It appears that webkit ignore this keycode because it does not belong to a common keycode. What can i do ? 

Thanks in advance !
Regards
Jo

Depending on what you want to achieve with the special key code you might have to implement it yourself or if it is interesting some one might do it..

I load a website that uses Javascript code to listen the keycode. When the keycode '403' is get, then it start the application. The problem is that webkit does not allow this keycode to be listned. 

The thing is that I want to create an application with an easy cross OS compatibility. Is there any webkit or webkitgtk function that can bypass this webkit rule regards keycode ?

Up of the subject.

I tried with different ways to send a keydown to webkit but the action is still ignored because my keycode is 403 and does not belong to a common key.
