This is Webkit bug http://jsfiddle.net/R25DR/ to see it you need to change kayboard to Polish (or German probably), because event is fired only when chacter is inserted.

Both are set to true in Chrome. I add comment without using jQuery. as I have written you need polish keyboard and Chrome, I spot this because someone that use German keyboard can insert @ (ALT+Q) on Webkit+WinXP https://github.com/jcubic/jquery.terminal/issues/17
Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.
I don't see this happening. Try this test case:

Do the lines labeled 1 and 2 look the same for each keypress? If so then Webkit is reporting the information to us incorrectly and there is nothing we can do.
