GWT: Wrong Key Codes generated with a French keyboard
On any french keyboard(AZERTY) the **dot char '.'** is generated with **(Shift + ;)** combination while the **percent char '%'** is generated with **(Shift + ù)** combination

So when I type one of the above combinations in a GWT text area to write '.' or ' %', the key codes generated for these events are KEY_DELETE in the former case and KEY_LEFT in the latter.

    TextArea txtArea = new TextArea();
    txtArea.addKeyPressHandler(new KeyPressHandler() {
                public void onKeyPress(KeyPressEvent event) {                
                    switch (charCode) {
                        case KeyCodes.KEY_LEFT: { // key code 37
                            System.out.write("KEY LEFT");    
                            break;
                        }
                        case KeyCodes.KEY_DELETE: {   // key code 46                   
                             System.out.write("DELETE");
                             break;
                        }
                    }

**Workaround**:  get charCode and do a character match:

    charCode = event.getCharCode();
    if (charCode == '.') {...}
    else if (charCode == '%') {...} 

Is this a GWT bug? And is there a more elegant way to handle this ?
