1441144 - browser/extensions/onboarding/content/onboarding.js should handle non-printable keys with keydown event listener rather than keypress event listener

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Masayuki Nakano [:masayuki] (he/him)(JST, +0900)]

We'll stop dispatching keypress event in the default event group of web content (bug 968056).  So, onboarding.js needs to handle non-printable keys with keydown event listener.

Attachment: Bug 1441144 - Make browser/extensions/onboarding/content/onboarding.js handle non-printable keys with "keydown" event listener rather than "keypress" event listener

We'll stop dispatching "keypress" event for non-printable keys and key
combinations in the default event group of web content.  Therefore,
onbording.js needs to stop handling some keys with "keypress" event listener.

This patch makes add a "keydown" event listener, handleKeydown(), and make it
handle only non-printable keys.  Note that we'll keep dispatching "keypress"
event for " " and "Enter".  So, we can keep handling them in "keypress"
event listener.

Although not scope of this bug, checking KeyboardEvent.key with " " must be wrong. IIRC, spacebar of some keyboard layouts produces other Unicode whitespace character instead of ASCII whitespace. Perhaps, KeyboardEvent.code should be checked instead.
