Writing to handle browsing is interesting.

Since keydown only fires for targets that can be activeElement, the event target from caret navigating plain text is always <body>.

However you can identify which element contains the caret, by evaluating the range data, which you can also do from selectionchange events.

And get this -- Safari still fires those events, even though it doesn't support caret browsing ... because it actually does, it just doesn't show the caret!
