KeyUp?
But you'll also have to handle Paste and Cut events.
HTML5 introduces a new "input" event [1] to address this exact use
case, but it's not supported on Internet Explorer, where it can be
emulated with onpropertychange [2]; but GWT won't allow you to do so,
at least not easily (or not easily enough).
