Hi @caiiiycuk ,

i did some further testing and i think i finally got the grasp of it. Here an example running a clean js-dos image in Firefox:

Keys were entered in order 1 to 5 (red markings on keyboards). On linux the special keys work, but "y" and "z" are still swapped.

It seems the keyCode-Events are system dependent, as you mentioned here already.

I'ld assume this is a general problem which could affect countless users. Since keyCode is also deprecated, is there any chance of using another technology, f.e. "key" event?
