Description

In chapter 17. Actions, section 17.4 Dispatching Actions:

\uE007 Enter 1

The spec indicates that key events dispatched for \uE007 "NumpadEnter" should have the location property set to 1. This key is located on the numpad though, so I would expect the location to be 3. This is consistent with a user pressing the real numpad Enter key on a US keyboard.

Research direction

Start with section 17.4, “Dispatching Actions,” at the linked WebDriver specification and inspect the NumpadEnter entry for U+E007. Confirm the intended key-event location value against the behavior of a physical numpad Enter key; done means the specification records the correct location consistently.
