This can be solved by adding this to lib.dom.d.ts:

interface SubmitEvent extends Event
{
readonly submitter: HTMLElement;
}
declare var SubmitEvent: {
prototype: SubmitEvent;
new(type: string, eventInitDict?: EventInit): SubmitEvent;
};

This can be solved by adding this to lib.dom.d.ts: …

I don't think that solves it completely. The event handler interfaces would need updating from Event → SubmitEvent as well:

TypeScript/lib/lib.dom.d.ts

Line 5755 in f4157b4

"submit": Event;

TypeScript/lib/lib.dom.d.ts

Line 6007 in f4157b4

onsubmit: ((this: GlobalEventHandlers, ev: Event) => any) | null;

Worth noting that SubmitEvent isn't (yet?) implemented in Safari. References:
