Comment (by siliconforks):

 It was mentioned in Slack that [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/8598 PR #8598] is adding a surprisingly large amount of code
 for something which seems like it should be a simple bug fix.

 I noticed that the code for handling other languages (HTML, CSS,
 JavaScript) usually checks whether the key pressed was an alphabetic key
 using the `isAlphaKey` variable (sometimes other keys are checked too).
 But the code for handling PHP does not do this.  Wouldn't it be best to
 just have the PHP-specific code check `isAlphaKey` too?
