<AWT Dev> [8] Request for review: 7124272: [macosx] VK_DELETE does produce an extraneous character in a TextArea or TextField

[Leonid Romanov]

Yes, you are right in your guess: OS X doesn't generate any kind of "key typed"  events, this is why we have to do it manually. As for the dead code in AWTEvent.m, the answer is again yes, it could use some cleaning. Perhaps a separate low priority bug could be filled.
