Description
currently, we fallback from
event = document.createEvent( "KeyEvents" );
event.initKeyEvent
to just creating a generic event in Webkit. Webkit has an alternate implementation called initKeyBoardEvent, which needs to be evaluated rather than just using generic events.

Research direction
Start by locating the keyboard-event fallback that creates a "KeyEvents" event and calls initKeyEvent. Evaluate WebKit's initKeyBoardEvent alternative in that path; done means WebKit no longer falls back to a generic event when the alternate initializer is available.
