In practice, Internet Explorer 9 sets the key value to "Scroll". 72667 1 travil 2012-08-23 22:01:45 +0000 Fixed in the latest version of the spec: r240 http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/DOM-Level-3-Events/html/DOM3-Events.html?rev=1.240 73098 2 masayuki 2012-08-31 08:30:31 +0000 Ugh... Mozilla has changed the key name to "ScrollLock" because the draft had changed the name. And unfortunately the first version which implements getModifierState() has been shipped with "ScrollLock". Why the name had been changed and back again by this bug?? 73104 3 travil 2012-08-31 17:52:20 +0000 Re-opening this bug--needs a more detailed investigation, especially now with conflicting implementations and prior spec inconsistency. 73126 4 masayuki 2012-08-31 23:44:24 +0000 Thanks. "Scroll" isn't clear if I see it in source code. The "ScrollLock" seems better in that point. And there are "CapsLock", "NumLock", "SymbolLock" and "FnLock". So, I wonder why the Scroll Lock key name is "Scroll". I guess it comes from VK_SCROLL which is Windows' virtual keycode. But I don't feel it's good name for the key. 73127 5 masayuki 2012-08-31 23:46:06 +0000 FYI: GDK's key name (and might be X's key name too) is GDK_Scroll_Lock. 92196 6 garykac 2013-08-16 20:38:21 +0000 Fixed (as "ScrollLock") in latest ED.
