I'm trying to trap key downs in GWT, and I've tried both addKeyDownHandler and onBrowserEvent. The problem is that they work as long as the appropriate widget had the focus, but it stops working when something else has the focus. I could add the code to every single widget, but that seems crazy. I also tried forcing one single widget to always have the focus, but that causes other problems with things like TextBoxes (which need the focus for typing).
Is there just a simple, high-level way to trigger some code when a key is pressed in GWT, regardless of which widget has the focus? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
