On a mac system when I use the Option key modifier to write some special character the return of the keyName is the value of the underlaying hardware key instead of the actual character that is written.

I do have questions if this is the intended behaviour or not... Let me know if it is indeed a bug or an expected result.

I am using:

  • OS: macOS Ventura
  • Keyboard layout: US (Also tried others and same thing append)
  • Browser: Brave 1.49.120 / Chromium: 111.0.5563.64 (Also tried on Firefox and same thing append)
  • Version: 2.2.6

This is an annoying thing that MacOS does, and unfortunately not something that a library like this (which doesn't know anything about the keyboard layout) can hide.
