How to capture all key events?

[rjcarr]

Using the DOM directly you'd add an event listener to the document (there are several ways to do this).

But looking at the GWT API I don't see a way to do this.  I've looked at Window and Document and neither seem to have anything about adding key handlers.  In order do this you need to use something with a HasKeyPressHandler.  But this only works on certain elements, and more importantly, it only works when the element is focused and I'd like to capture all key events instead.

Is there a way to do this in GWT?

This might do what you need:

Thanks, not exactly what I was looking for, but I can probably find a way to make this work in the way i'd like.  Thanks!
