Re: Is Document.get().createKeyPressEvent() not available in IE11?

FWIW, this was the original report:

https://code.google.com/archive/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/8463

https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt/issues/8447

It was one of the reports branched from:

https://code.google.com/archive/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/8228

https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt/issues/8218

Apparently, on IE one could use initKeyboardEvent (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent), and on "modern browsers" one should rather use the constructor.
Key/keyboard event handling is such a mess… and synthesizing those events is almost useless anyway…
There's an issue about better keyboard event handling, that's been open for years. It'd be so time-consuming that it's probably worthless (YMMV)
