I see he tried to resolve that by using GetAsyncKeyState API call, but he has to call it 255 times to find which key was last pressed - and not to mention anything about ctrl or alt... so is there a better interface to implement? Or a way to get to the event object from DOM - it's surely passed to the event inside the document, but not to the interface.

The issue you mention is exactly one of the issues I found troublesome in Yousfi's code. Read the comments I wrote in my WBEventHandler.prg. Esp. the way Yousfi uses GetAsyncKeyState is troublesome. Instead of looping thru all 255 places, you should only test the places in the buffer that you are interested in. The code also handles ctrl, alt, shift, etc.
