GWT, GXT HtmlEditor, Key Event

Question

No matter what I try, when I add addListener(Events.KeyPress, new Listener() { public void handleEvent(FieldEvent e) { changed = true; } });

OR

    addKeyListener(new KeyListener() {
        public void componentKeyDown(ComponentEvent event) {
            changed = true;
        }
    });

Nothing registers... the event is not captured. Anybody know how to make this work?

Thank you. Kirt

Currently you have to extend HtmlEditor and overwrite onEditorKeyDown().

class ExtendedHtmlEditor extends HtmlEditor {

    public ExtendedHtmlEditor() {
        super();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onEditorKeyDown(KeyDownEvent e) {
        super.onEditorKeyDown(e);
        Window.alert("w000t");
    }

}
