      I am using qtwebengine version from package manager:

      Name : qt5-webengine
       Version : 5.9.0-1
    • 19e5c2057b9f127726018d3e39a62066317a983f

      On qtwebengine 5.8 the keyEvents not consumed by the page were forwarded to parentWidget, eg, plain characters "hjkl", modifiers, etc. On 5.9 only keyEvents for modifiers seems to be forwarded. Plain characters are not. I attached a small code that prints keyEvents on 5.8 but doesn't print anything on 5.9.
