Re: KeyCodes not containing KEY_SPACE?

AFAICT, KeyCodes only includes the most useful key codes, for those keys that won't generate a KeyPress event (in most browsers except Firefox). KEY_ENTER, while generally generating a KeyPress (a buggy one in Firefox) might trigger form submission so was probably worth including here. Honestly, key events are a real mess; good luck if you start playing with them, and make sure you test in absolutely all browsers, including on different platforms (Linux, Windows, OSX).

For your "number input" use-case, you'd better use an <input type=number> and validate/fix the value in the end (for those browsers that don't support type=number and will fallback to a type=text). Believe me, you already have enough issues to deal with without adding key event handling to the list.

Hi,

maybe I'm missing something, but is there any reason com.google.gwt.event.dom.client.KeyCodes does not contain KEY_SPACE = 32?
Is this contained in a different class? Or omitted for any reason?
