You can only catch the keyboard events for whichever widget is in
focus. So, if you have a text control, you'll need to bind to that.
The events you're likely need are EVT_KEYDOWN or EVT_CHAR. You cannot
catch keyboard events with wx if you are using MS Word. For that sort
of thing,you'll have to hook in at the OS level.
