Using BuildID 2005050905 on WinXP with a UK keyboard
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to above URL
2. Hold shift key and press =
3. Examine results
4. Hold shift and ctrl keys and press =
6. Compare results

Expected results
1. charCode for keypress should both be 43

Actual results
1. charCode for just shift is 43 but 61 for shift+ctrl

Similar problems on other non-US keyboards.
Ctrl-shift-[ and Ctrl-shift-] actually give 0 for the keycode.
This occurs on mac as well, and it is an issue when localizing the mapping of
the standard mac shortcut for opening Help (cmd+?). Scandinavian keyboards (and
baltic?)has ? == shift++.
