noVNC - capture keyboard and mouse events and send to alternate service

[Cary Lewis]

I want to use noVNC to serve up a tigervnc session. That session is running a program that does not support keyboard or mouse events. I would like to be able to capture any keyboard or mouse events on the browser side, and send them to an alternate service that will process them and take appropriate actions.

Is there a fairly easy way to do this?

There is nothing in noVNC designed for this use case. But if you are
building your own web page, then you can likely intercept the JavaScript
events before noVNC gets them and do whatever you want with them.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
