Yep, this would be a nice utility to have available, I think we might be able to get the isControlKey() part fully integrated with the native events, as I think we've already started down that route.
I also like the idea of a logical key event that is only fired at sane times if you have the bandwidth to brain storm on how to tweak your design to get it there. We could, for instance have a static FilterKeyEvent.fireEvent method that widgets could call which create FilterKeyEvent's at the right time.
