[Dynapi-Help] keyevents

[<hv...@ya...>]

I'm trying to do my own custom extensions (which I
will contribute if successful). One of which I'm
working on is getting together an similar set of
eventhandlers for keyboard keys. I've seen Scott
Andrew has one for the Dan Steinman's original Dynapi
at his site and found an example at Bratta.com.  I've
tried to merge these with a copy of the existing
mouseevents (core.api.events.js). I'm neither a
well-experienced nor advanced DOM-developer, so I have
some questions...

1) Have anybody tried and/or successfully applied
keyevents to DynAPI 2? (I'd hate to do it in vain if
so...)

2) Does anybody know if it is possible to override the
browsers keycombinations with the CTRL, ALT,
SHIFT-keys, or will the browser always override any
events in the DOM? (This should be essential to
develop real webapps...) 

As I come to think of it: is there any responding keys
for mac-users to the CTRL, ALT, SHIFT -keys for PC?
Are they logically comparable?

3) What is the bubbleevent (as found in
core.api.events.js) and what is it used for? Could it
be of any use for keyevents? (I probably missed out on
a valuble lesson with this)

4) Is it possible to capture non-alaphabetic keys like
the arrows (if they're not overidden by browser
functions of course)?

5) Does anybody have a list or know how to get one for
how the keycode responds to the keyboard keys in the
different browsers/systems? Does international
keyboard layouts respond different? (in case it does
the task is almost too big to be one-fits-all I
believe)
