INPUT fields: Unable to enter special / national characters #177

ZEbkit is not allowing to enter special national characters for many western,eastern european languages. For example in windows by holding ALT+A we get german Ä or latvian Ā depending on language settings. Zebkit controls are totally ignoring this fact so the only way to enter national characters is to copy them from a clipboard ( ctrl+c / ctrl+v )

Which browser and OS are you using ?

Actually I can enter a character with ALT+A ("å" in my case), but in general entering such sort of characters can be a problem for zebkit text field component, since in some cases JS key event doesn't provide any information that can help to identify the character. As an alternative you can try to use native text filed component wrapped as a zebkit component (zebkit.ui.web.HtmlTextField).
