I have had a quick look at the problem. Since I suppose we can only  
get ASCII codes from keypress, I don't see any way around using both.  
I played with some code that I'll attach to this mail. It seems that  
we should be able to only use keypress, if the key has not been  
processed by keydown. So my idea at the moment would be a  
modification of Egor's code. Analyse the key code in keydown and see  
if it is a non-character key and if not, let keypress do its thing.  
In the attached file the arrow keys are handled in keydown, while all  
other keys are handled in keypress. Just to illustrate the idea. The  
code in the file has been tested on OSX in Safari, FF and Opera.

Another idea would be to figure out the ASCII from the key code and  
only use keydown. Well, tomorrow maybe :-)

Cheers,
