Summary keydown/press/up events do not fire for modifier keys

See attached testcase, 1. Give focus to the textarea 2. Press a normal key (works! =>keydown => keypress => keyup, like it should) 3. Press a modifier key (works! but it will report 4 times the mousemove on the body) Expected: Like on windows with Firefox and IE it would be expected that the modifier keys also fire the way normal keys are doing e.g. keydown{1} => keypress{1,n} => keyup{1}. This is the case on: - Safari 2.0.4 (419) - Safari 3 (522)

Maybe we can eliminate the mousemove event too; it's currently used to cause things like the status bar message to update.

Except for the mousemove issue, this seems to be the same as bug 11696.
