I know the mess is in the OS-side but is there any chance we will have some day a DOM API independent of the keyboard layout?

For instance you want to make a game using WSAD keys, well in a french keyboard it's ZSQD... Also in a French keyboard, there some keys which trigger the same keycode so you cannot differenciate them! (I think it was the comma with something else)

If you want to make a software like Blender on the web which have a lot of key shortcuts you are a bit screwed!
