Description
Both keyDown and keyUp action primitives reference properties from KeyboardEvent which are marked as deprecated.
https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/#dfn-dispatch-a-keydown-action
https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/#dfn-dispatch-a-keyup-action
- Let charCode, keyCode and which be the implementation-specific values of the charCode, keyCode and which properties appropriate for a key with key key and location location on a 102 key US keyboard, following the guidelines in [UI-EVENTS].
But all of them are marked as deprecated:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/which
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/charCode
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/keyCode
As such we shouldn't require implementations to make use of those properties.

Start with the keyDown and keyUp action definitions in the WebDriver specification and compare their requirements with the linked UI Events guidance and KeyboardEvent documentation. The issue is done when the specification no longer requires implementations to use the deprecated charCode, keyCode, and which properties.
