I totally agree.  As already said in another reply in this thread, being
able to grab keyEvents via BrlAPI would be useful and revive the
current keycode feature, which seems sort of bitrotten to the point of
almost being unusable.

Is there anything that I (with my limited understanding of the core) can
do to help in this?
