Sure. But are you literally asking me for a test case for something so unbelievably simple? I don't see the point to be fair.

But here you go:

window.addEventListener("keypress", function(event){
  console.log(event);
});

Press your arrow keys in FF 50 and voila, you see the events fire. And they shouldn't. Can't make it easier than this!
