Stacking event listeners should be possible

[jamess-ais]

Describe the problem

I'm frustrated having to repeat code when it could be simplified

Describe the proposed solution

on:click|keypress={handleAction}

Opposed to

on:click={handleAction}
on:keypress={handleAction}

Alternatives considered

I am not aware of alternatives.

Proposed solution conflicts with event modifiers (like preventDefault).

Also, having click and keypress use the same handler just reeks of using the wrong element.

Yeah, we don't want to use the | syntax for the above reason. But also, I don't think we should be encouraging code like this, for the mentioned accessibility reasons. If you really find yourself attaching the same handler to both the click and keypress events on a lot of elements, you can write an Action that wraps this behavior and attaches and removes both event handlers from the node.
