Description Domenic Denicola 2015-08-19 21:36:53 UTC 
"To create an instance of the KeyboardEvent interface, use the DocumentEvent.createEvent("KeyboardEvent") method call. "

You should recommend using new KeyboardEvent instead. DocumentEvent doesn't even exist.

This problem also occurs with CompositionEvent.
