This might be better to move UI Events, though. I'd like to suggest that KeyboardEvent should have .isComposing attribute which is true if the key event is dispatched between compositionstart and compositionend. This attribute is useful for handling key events only when there is no composition. For example: isComposing keydown 's' false compositionstart '' compositionupdate 's' beforeinput 's' DOM change occurs input 's' keyup 's' true keydown 'Enter' true beforeinput 's' DOM change occurs input 's' compsitionend 's' keyup 'Enter' false
Fixed in latest ED. Section 5.2.7.5 "Key Events During Composition" has also been updated with info about isComposing.
