It should work just fine, no matter what the window is.

Keep in mind that onKeyPress sees only 'printable' keys (more or less),
while onKeyDown sees all keys (but only as key codes).

I'm giving some serious consideration into folding these two functions into
a unified onKey function. WM_KEYDOWN would pass the cursor-type events,
while WM_CHAR would pass 'normal' keys.

I'll also probably be adding the Shift and Control key states as parameters.
