If a key combination causes text input, we need to dispatch keypress
events without alt/ctrl/meta modifiers since TextEditor won't handle
keyepress events whose altKey, ctrlKey or metaKey is true as inputting
text.
Currently, TextEventDispatcher sets mCharCode of eKeyPress event from
mKeyValue. Then, when altKey, ctrlKey or metaKey is true, it'll call
WillDispatchKeyboardEvent() and then, TextInputHandler needs to reset
the charCode value from native event information.
However, the problem is, TextInputHandler::InsertText() is called
with control character when control key is pressed and InsertText()
clears the modifier information before sending eKeyPress event to
TextEvenDispatcher so that TextEventDispatcher won't call
WillDispatchKeyboardEvent() even though control key is actually
pressed. Therefore, TextInputHandler cannot adjust charCode value
and modifier flags in some cases such as control + option + 'a'.
This patch makes InsertText() stop clearing the modifiers and
makes WillDispatchKeyboardEvent() do it instead. This procedure
is expected by TextEventDispatcher.
