It looks like it's been a bit since you asked this so you may have already found the answer to your question. In case you haven't though, there is a bug in Webkit as was pointed out in this SO question that causes the keyCode to always be 0. Apparently there's not much you can do until they fix it. Sadly it doesn't look like anyone is really working on it though. It's not the answer you want to hear, but it's really the only answer anyone can give you for this right now.
