Steps to reproduce:

Setup: Mac with with ISO 102 keyboard and French locale.  Keyboard should be set up as ISO.

(1) Go to Keyboard Event Test page: https://cdn.rawgit.com/w3c/uievents/gh-pages/tools/key-event-viewer.html
(2) Type the following keys:
* Key to left of Digit1
* Key between ShiftLeft and KeyZ

Alternately:
(1) Go to Keyboard Event Manual Test page for French: https://cdn.rawgit.com/w3c/uievents/gh-pages/tests/key-mtest-102fr-fr.html
(2) Click "Show Options"
(3) Make sure only 'keydown' is selected for 'Events'
(4) Make sure only 'code' is selected for 'Attributes'
(5) Start test

Press the keys as they are highlighted. Note that the '^' key (near the end of the 2nd row) is skipped because it is a dead key.
Use 'Esc' to skip keys (like 'Meta') that are trapped by the OS.


Actual results:

The following 3 keys produce incorrect |code| values:

Correct |code|     Char    Actual |code|    Location
Backquote           ²      IntlBackslash    Left of Digit1
IntlBackslash       <      Backquote        Betwixt ShiftLeft and KeyZ

This same problem (incorrect |code| values) also occurs for UK and Swedish locales. Probably for other Euro locales as well.


Expected results:

Correct |code| value for these keys.

Note: corresponding Chromium bug: https://crbug.com/600607

Bug does not occur is keyboard is set up as ANSI or JIS.
Ignore the UserAgent line in the bug description. This bug is for Firefox 45.0.1.

Thank you garykac, for your report (and long time no see!).


It sounds like OS X sends odd keyCode for 102 keyboard. Current code value on Mac is simply mapped from *virtual keycode* since OS X doesn't provide scancode (sigh).

> Backquote           ²      IntlBackslash    Left of Digit1

The VK must be kVK_ISO_Section.

> IntlBackslash       <      Backquote        Betwixt ShiftLeft and KeyZ

The VK must be kVK_ANSI_Grave.

We should check GetKbdType() when 102 keyboard is active and need to do special handling for these keys. (I don't know the return value of it because the result value isn't documented.)


BTW, you said "The following 3 keys produce incorrect |code| values:".

Is this a typo? you listed up only 2 keys.

But you listed 3 keys in the chromium issue:
> IntlHash            *      Backslash        Right of Quote

But "IntlHash" shouldn't be used anymore: https://github.com/w3c/uievents-code/issues/9

Oh, I find this comment in the issue for Chromium. Okay, only the two keys are problem.
Oops! Sorry about that. I tried to cleanup the description and failed. :-(
