Hi Billy,
As for web application, the key press/down events are handled by
client-side javascript. And you can register "onKeyDown", "onKeyPress"
script event for the <body> element or any other sub container(such as div
, span....). Here are some web articles mentioned this:
#Code Samples : Make Any Key A Hot Key
http://www.15seconds.com/howto/pg000086.htm
#How to Prevent Users to Press F5 key (Refresh button)
http://anujkrathi.blogspot.com/2007/06/how-to-prevent-users-to-press-f5-key.
html
here is a simple test page I've used for demonstration:
=======================
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title>Untitled Page</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function hotkey(eventname)
{
if(eventname.keyCode == 116 )
{
alert("\nyou've pressed F5");
eventname.keyCode =505;// reset key code
return false; //return false to prevent refresh page
}
return true;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onkeydown="return hotkey(event);">
...................

And for complete key code list in javascript key event, here is a good
reference:
