In FF 4 (macOS X), pressing Shift+; (to get a point on a french keyboard) gives : keyboardInput key press: delete

Wow. Sounds like a keyboard translation error, but where... I look at the keycodes as delivered by FF4/mootools. Hm, might have to do a jsfiddle for this one to see what comes out of a French keyboard exactly, because this one is pretty weird.

Turns out this is wicked stuff and mootools isn't completely protecting us (me) from it.

Bit of background: http://unixpapa.com/js/key.html

Two places to test keys / keyboards:

• http://unixpapa.com/js/testkey.html (as mentioned in the URL above)
• http://jsfiddle.net/GerHobbelt/Ld2ys/ (which is the fileManager keyboard code stripped off the fileManager code, plus some unsavory Safari hacks in the diag.log() code as it turned out that Safari was crashing on me when augmenting the diag.log() code. :-( :-( )

Anyway, could you please run the jsfiddle at least and see what events and keyboard values are reported there for a french keyboard and send the jsfiddle output to me?

Second, it might help to do the same with the unixpapa testkey page as well: the difference between the two is mootools + MTFM and I'd like to know what I can expect from both raw JS and mootools in this aspect.
