Yes, you should be able to use onkey to add a handler to the top level window.

For example, if I add to the end of helloworld.js

Code: Select all

window.onkey = function(ev) {
    util.debug("window:" + JSON.stringify(ev));
    return 0;
};


And then run it, I get the following output on the debug log when I press the various keys:

Code: Select all

$ ./update.sh log



+Done loading util.js
app.js:Init
                        app.init:appConfigXML:{"$NAME":"appconfig","$CHILDREN":[]}
                        app.init:this.config:{}
auth.js:Constructor
Could not load app specific language keys for fallback lang: en_us
Could not load app specific language keys for lang: en_us
window:{"key":"hold","type":"key"}
window:{"key":"xfer","type":"key"}
window:{"key":"msgs","type":"key"}


If you return true or 1 from the handler, you can prevent the key from being passed to the phone application if you would like.
