Let's meditate on Key-listeners

Hi everyone & Jolly hohoho…

As I’m still finding out some “cool new features” of AS3 vs. AS2, thought to get some consult on the Keyboard listeners and how they work these days.

As I’m a strong supporter of kb-shortcuts, using them & implementing into any product, so the .001% of ppl who use them, CAN use them, I ran into a problem.

It seems the stage-focus has changed towards new personality, it’s quite impossible to create a keylistener, that works all the time you’re browsing the site… or maybe it’s just me, dunno, that’s why I’m asking.
Is it necessary to allow focus on stage or something to make such-a listener to work? Right now the key-combinations work only if the kb focus is set to some input-text-field; It’d be so cool if it would work everywhere in my project

Any ideas?
dnx!
