Consider making most accelerators not repeat on OS X to match other platforms

Project Member Reported by ajha@chromium.org, Oct 6 2016

Issue description

Version: 55.0.2881.5
OS: Windows 10, Linux Ubuntu 14.04.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Launch chrome and keep the Ctrl++ pressed and observe.

What is the expected output?
> Page gets zoomed to maximum zoom level(500%), when the Ctrl++ key is pressed.

What do you see instead?
> Page doesn't get zoom and user has to release the key everytime and zoom to next level.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
> This is working fine on the latest canary(55.0.2882.0) on Mac OS 10.11.6.

Regressed in M-55.

Last good build: 55.0.2853.0
First bad build: 55.0.2854.2

derat@: Could you please take a look at this issue.

Thank you!

This is working as intended. Was being able to increase the increase the zoom level via key repeat something that you depended on?

This still zooms continuously on Mac OS 10.11.6 using the Cmd++. Nothing specific I can think of where I relied on this but shall we have consistency of this across all OS?

Yeah, it'd probably make sense to have the same behavior on all platforms (if possible; I don't know anything about how accelerators are implemented on Mac). My change was Views-only. Alex, what do you think?

There's no need to continue testing this. The behavior on Mac isn't going to change unless someone modifies the code.

I've pinged Alex over IM to get his thoughts about whether this is something we should do.

Mike, do you have any opinions here? I have no idea how hard this would be to do or if it makes sense.

The rest of the Mac platform behaves the way Mac Chrome behaves (in that keeping a modifier key depressed applies to subsequent key presses). We should not be changing this platform behavior simply to align with other platforms.

+shrike@ for his opinion and to mark WONTFIX if he agrees.

Correct - our menus (where the accelerators live) should continue to work as expected on the Mac, which means key repeat.
