That worked on the demo.

But it doesn't work on my program. I tried putting the focus on several things
(window, widgets) and the keys still don't work. But the alt keys work on the
menu bar.

(What I wanna do is either use the tab key or arrow keys to move the focus from
widget to widget, or to use a specific ctrl key to put the focus on a specific
widget (or both). Then maybe do something with the space key. Etc.)
