           Summary: keypress is not a keySequence event but rather a
                    textInput event
           Product: framework
           Version: trunk
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core-event
        AssignedTo: no...@qo...
        ReportedBy: adr...@1a...
         QAContact: qoo...@li...


Some description first (not related to qooxdoo).

We have 4 keyboard events: keydown, keypress,textInput,keyup.

The keydown event occurs when the key is pressed, followed immediately by the
keypress event, and possibly the textInput event. Then the keyup event is
generated when the key is released. 

the keydown and keyup events represent keys being pressed or released, while
the keypress event represents a character being typed. textInput is a
replacement and generalization of keypress.

in qooxdoo, the keydown/keypress/keyup fire a keysequence event which is used
to identify the key being pressed and textInput event fire a textinput event to
check which character was actually pressed.

As you see we have a keypress event that is used for something and a textInput
that is used for something else. This two should be the same, and used for
exactly the same purpose: checking which character was pressed.
