Try to find similar conditions in gecko and listed in the followings. X means we don't handle the corresponding events with the modifier.

                                 shift control alt meta altgraph fn os
Element eMouseClick              X     X       X   X
HTMLLabelElement eMouseClick     X     X       X   X
Number input up/down keys        X     X       X   X    X        X  X
Number input mouseup/down/click  X     X       X   X    X        X  X
Range input mousedown/touchstart X     X       X   X    X        X  X
Radio input arrow Keyevents            X       X   X
Range input arrow Keyevents            X       X   X
TextEventDispatcher Keyevents          X       X   X                X

TextEditor NS_VK_TAB             X     X       X   X                X
TextEditor NS_VK_RETURN                X       X   X                X
TextEditor Keyevents                   X       X   X                X
HTMLEditor NS_VK_TAB                   X       X   X                X
HTMLEditor NS_VK_RETURN                X       X   X                X
HTMLEditor Keyevents                   X       X   X                X

Should we try to find some rules and align the key events / mouse events behaviors of different elements/components?

I'd like to survey how other browsers behave first.

The bug assignee is inactive on Bugzilla, so the assignee is being reset.
