Inserting caret (^) from a Nordic (NO, SE, DK, FI) keyboard on ChromeOS |

Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 9000.91.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.110 Safari/537.36 Platform: 9000.91.0 (Official Build) stable-channel samus Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. On a NO, SE, DK or FI keyboard layout hit SHIFT + the key two positions two the right of the 'p' key. The key is the one with ]} in US layout, in Nordic layout it is marked as "~^ 2. Hitting SHIFT + key once (and then space) gives ² 3. Hitting SHIFT + key twice gives ^ What is the expected behavior? Expected behavior is that SHIFT + key once gives ^ as it does on Chrome in Windows (and other environments) using a nordic keyboard. What went wrong? It is difficult for users to know that you need to hit SHIFT + key twice on ChromeOS but not in other environments. This is unexpected behavior. Did this work before?

Thank you for the feedback! My understanding is that typing that key, shift+key, or altgr+key all set various diacritics that will be added to the next character you type, eg. äâã. I'm not familiar with the expectations of the Norwegian keyboard though. Is the idea that typing shift+key will show a "^", and then if you press <spacebar> it stays as "^" vs if you type "a" it becomes "â"?

Expectations is that shift+key+spacebar produces ^, and not ² as is the case now. shift+key+character produces the expected êŷîâŝĵ etc.

This appears to be an IME issue -- we are treating it as a superscript and defaulting to ² instead of ^. Note that if you do [SHIFT+key 3] it does ³. |
