According to <http://blogs.msdn.com/b/michkap/archive/2006/10/07/799605.aspx>, Separator key on Numpad of Brazilian keyboard causes VK_ABNT_C2 instead of VK_SEPARATOR. We should map it to "Separator" for KeyboardEvent.key. I ordered Brazilian keyboard. I'll work on this after it comes.

Ugh, different Brazilian keyboard comes today :-( Therefore, I couldn't test this patch with actual Brazilian ABNT keyboard. However, fortunately, Japanese keyboard for Mac has "separator" key. And with it, I confirmed that Windows 8 uses VK_ABNT_C2 (0xC2) for it. And I can input "." by the key only when I select Portuguese of Brazil. So, I think that this patch works fine with actual Brazilian keyboard.

Just in case you did not see my comment on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=833719#c56 yet. There are TWO “extra” keys on the Brazilian keyboard: C1 and C2. AFAIU, C1 is much more important than C2. Can you find a DOM code to map it to (since 0xC1 is, apparently, occupied)?
