Meta+Shift+E won't register as a KeyDown Event (at least on OSX)

[Jake Rosch]

I was creating keyboard shortcuts for a webpage I am making, and I wanted Command(or Ctrl on Windows)+E to clear a row, and Command(or Ctrl on Windows)+Shift+E to remove a row. Command+E worked fine, while Command+Shift+E won't register. I used the following code in my console to test if it is Command+Shift+(any key), but I found it is only E.

document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
    event.preventDefault(); 

    
    //if Command is pressed, and Shift is pressed, and the triggered event is NOT the Command or Shift key

    if (event.metaKey && event.shiftKey && [16,91].indexOf(event.keyCode) === -1)

        console.log(event); //log the event

    

});


I believe this is an issue with Chrome because:

- Command+Shift+E doesn't do anything special in Chrome
- but, on the other hand, Command+Shift+R force reloads the page, yet registers as an event
- it works fine on both Firefox and Safari

I haven't tested this yet on Windows using the Control key.

Mac OS X 10.11.5 running Chrome 52.0.2743.82

You can search crbug.com for an existing issue and star it. If you cannot find one, file a new issue using the "New issue" link on the same page.

Please, do not add a "+1" or "Me too" or "Confirmed" (or similar) comment. It just wastes the time of Chrome engineers and sends unnecessary e-mails to all of the people who starred the issue.

You can reply with a link to the found or created issue and might get triaged (and fixed) faster.

Thank you.

I was curious about this since I do a lot of keyboard JS. For me your example works with Shift+Meta+E. I am on the same version of OSX and the same version of Chrome. So it may not be the browser.

You can use https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/d4e/raw-file/tip/key-event-test.html to check what events the browser is firing. If you can repro the bug using that site, it will be easier to debug it. If you can't then there's probably some unintended side-effect in your app.

Works for me.
