Much better now!

However, not all keys generate key/up down events - for example, shift, 
ctrl, or dead keys. Also, the key value is not constant - pressing A 
does not always generate a key value of 65, but sometimes 97, 225, 226, 
depending on which modifiers and dead keys were pressed,

Up/down events should just generate raw key codes, and should not be 
processed by the more sophisticated translation services.
