The Devices and Sensors Working Group and the Web Applications Working Group have proposed corrections and additions to the W3C Recommendation of Geolocation. Geolocation provides access to geographical location information associated with the hosting device.

Proposed corrections and additions are marked in the document. Comments, including implementation experience, are welcome via GitHub through 28 December 2025.

Today the Web Applications Working Group published the following two documents as W3C Recommendations:

• UI Events KeyboardEvent key Values: This specification defines the key attribute values that must be used for KeyboardEvent’s key attribute, which is defined as part of the UI Events Specification.
• UI Events KeyboardEvent code Values: This specification defines the values for the KeyboardEvent.code attribute, which is defined as part of the UI Events Specification. The code value contains information about the key event that can be used to identify the physical key being pressed by the user.

Today the Web Applications Working Group published the following two documents as W3C Proposed Recommendations:

• UI Events KeyboardEvent code Values: This specification defines the values for the KeyboardEvent.code attribute, which is defined as part of the UI Events Specification [UIEvents]. The code value contains information about the key event that can be used to identify the physical key being pressed by the user.
• UI Events KeyboardEvent key Values: This specification defines the key attribute values that must be used for KeyboardEvent's key attribute, which is defined as part of the UI Events Specification [UIEvents].

The Devices and Sensors Working Group and Web Applications Working Group have jointly published Device Orientation and Motion as a W3C Candidate Recommendation.

This specification defines events that represent the physical orientation and motion of a hosting device. These events provide web applications with access to orientation and motion data. The specification is designed to be agnostic to the underlying sources of this data, aiming to achieve interoperability across different environments.

New features since publication as a Candidate Recommendation include integration of Permissions Policy and API, which now requires explicit user consent through requestPermission() for accessing device orientation data.

Comments are welcome via the GitHub issues by 19 December 2024.

The Web Applications Working Group invites implementations of the following two updated Candidate Recommendation Snapshots:

• UI Events KeyboardEvent code Values defines the values for the KeyboardEvent.code attribute, which is defined as part of the UI Events Specification [UIEvents]. The code value contains information about the key event that can be used to identify the physical key being pressed by the user.
• UI Events KeyboardEvent key Values defines the key attribute values that must be used for KeyboardEvent‘s key attribute, which is defined as part of the UI Events Specification [UIEvents].

The Web Applications Working Group has published Web Share API as a W3C Recommendation. This specification defines an API for sharing text, links and other content to an arbitrary destination of the user’s choice. The available share targets are not specified here; they are provided by the user agent. They could, for example, be apps, websites or contacts.

The Web Applications Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of Badging API. This specification defines an API that allows installed web applications to set an application badge, which is usually shown alongside the application’s icon on the device’s home screen or application dock.
