Details

We need to know what the character code of a key is so we need th charCode field of the nsKeyEvent struct filled in when key event received. On the Mac this happens in widget/src/mac/nsMacEventHandler.cpp::HandleKeyEvent. Bug #3511 is what this bug is derived from.
Priority: P3 → P1
Target Milestone: M3
Summary: need charCode field of the nsKeyEvent struct filled in when key event received → [BLOCK] need charCode field of the nsKeyEvent struct filled in when key event received
We need the "OS translated UniCode char" out of a gtk event: struct _GdkEventKey { GdkEventType type; GdkWindow *window; gint8 send_event; guint32 time; guint state; guint keyval; gint length; gchar *string; }; This needs to happen in InitKeyEvent(), mozilla/widget/src/gtk/nsGtkEventHandler.cpp
Here's the nsKeyEvent struct I need to fill in.. struct nsKeyEvent : public nsInputEvent { /// see NS_VK codes PRUint32 keyCode; /// OS translated Unicode char PRUint32 charCode; };
