Details

When pressing Ctrl (or Shift) and clicking a submit button, the event will report ctrlKey (or shiftKey) as true. With the focus in a form field and pressing Ctrl (or Shift) + Enter will *not* report ctrlKey (or shiftKey) as true. Problem seen with Firefox 13 under kubuntu 12.04 and Windows XP. You can test with http://jsfiddle.net/ReD6k Press some modifiers, and *click submit* or *press Enter* to see the difference. The date is present to be sure info has been refreshed because some modifiers (under some other browser or OS) will not submit.

I have discovered this yesterday, 9 years after the OP, on macOS. This happens also when clicking a space bar to check a checkbox.
