This only works for 'Function' keys (F1 - F12, ENTER, TAB, etc.), and not even all of those can be intercepted.

I have not found any way to redefine any of the 'Normal' typewriter keys, and at the current version of FORMS, there is not even any way to detect when somebody starts typing into a non-database field, so you cannot just look at the field when the first key is pressed.
