Bug 3076

Summary: No key up/down message for backquote on US international keyboard

Description Drew Bliss 2015-07-27 20:43:23 UTC 
If I’m using a regular US English keyboard layout I get key up/down for ` and everything works as expected.  If I switch to a US alternative international English keyboard layout then no key up/down is generated.  A ` character event still comes through but no up/down.  In the user report that prompted me trying this the user says that ` is a modifier key to get accents so maybe that’s why it isn’t coming through?  The lack of up/down events for the key means that users cannot bind it to an action and losing a useful key seems undesirable.

Agreed, let's work out of that bug report, because it has more content in it.
