Unfortunately like 99% of such web games is mostly unusable if you don't have a QWERTY keyboard...

Why don't web games use KeyboardEvent.code for this? That would mostly resolve the issue, assuming browsers are compliant.

This sounds like a lot of work to me to address a problem that only impacts 0.1% of players, and KeyboardEvent.code looks pretty obscure.

Most French-speaking (AZERTY) and German-speaking (QWERTZ) countries, that's like at least 500 million people...
