Description Hakon 2004-06-16 15:53:10 UTC 
Epiphany, doesn't pass the Escape keyboard key with the javascript event
ONKEYDOWN. Most other keys work though.
I first thought this was a GNOME thing, that ESC was reserved. However I have
checked the keybindings for GNOME and Metacity and haven't found anything that
reserves ESC.
It's also noteworthy that ONKEYUP works, as you can see in the example after
having pressed '1'. The character code of the pressed key is supposed to display
as "document title".

Here's the example. I also forgot to mention I tested with the Mozilla browser
and there wawsn't this problem.

Esc is bound to View->Stop, maybe that's what's swallwing the keypress? (If so,
that's the same problem as in bug 108094 and bug 113449, i.e. that accelerators
have precedence).

You're right. I missed that.
It's a little funny though, that it works with ONKEYUP but not ONKEYDOWN.
