Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Use selenium + chrome webdriver to send an r (or an R) to an input element
2. Have a keyboard event handler display e.key, e.code and e.keyCode

What is the expected behavior?
e.key "r" e.code "KeyR" e.keyCode 82

What went wrong?
e.key is "" e.code is "" e.keyCode is 82

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? N/A

Chrome version: 54.0.2840.71  Channel: n/a
OS Version: OS X 10.11.1
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0

Sending keys to the element using the keyboard works fine, it is only an issue when sending keys to the element using chrome webdriver / selenium.

I am using the following code to work around the problem

if ("key" in e) {
  var key = e.key;
  if (key === "" && e.keyCode > 0) {
    key = String.fromCharCode(e.keyCode);
  }
  if (key) {
    ... do my stuff
  }
}                  

Key is sent using RemoteWebElement context ... context.sendKeys("r")

I use a custom script engine (built on top of selenium) to run my tests: https://github.com/redskyit/ScriptDriver/
