.firesKeyPressEvent(keyCode, opt_heldKeyCode, opt_shiftKey, opt_ctrlKey, opt_altKey)

Returns true if the key fires a keypress event in the current browser. Accoridng to MSDN [1] IE only fires keypress events for the following keys: - Letters: A - Z (uppercase and lowercase) - Numerals: 0 - 9 - Symbols: ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ - + = < [ ] { } , . / ? \ | ' ` " ~ - System: ESC, SPACEBAR, ENTER That's not entirely correct though, for instance there's no distinction between upper and lower case letters. [1] http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536939(VS.85).aspx) Safari is similar to IE, but does not fire keypress for ESC. Additionally, IE6 does not fire keydown or keypress events for letters when the control or alt keys are held down and the shift key is not. IE7 does fire keydown in these cases, though, but not keypress.

keyCode {number}

opt_heldKeyCode {number=}

opt_altKey {boolean=}
Whether the alt key is held down.
returns {boolean}

.isCharacterKey(keyCode)

keyCode {number}

Whether it's a character key.

.isTextModifyingKeyEvent(e)

Returns true if the event contains a text modifying key.

e {goog.events.BrowserEvent}
