From my experience setFocus helps in your case, just use it in creationComplete handler of parent container (whatever it is) or component root tag (which happens to be parent container as well)

In Application is seems to work once with this.setFocus(), but then it doesn't work anymore. Is there a way to catch the keys at all time??? I think I'm missing something here. I have an application with some layoutContainers and in one of the containers a user can draw a groundPlan. When rubberBand is enabled, I want a user to be able to press CTRL and click with mouse so that rubberband disappears. This Container where the drawing happens is called GroundPlan.as (extends Container).
