Use JSNI to do the equivalent of TextBoxBase.setKey? Or maybe rather
"just" cancelling the event and instead firing a KeyPressEvent at the
event source, with the key you want.
But TextBoxBase.setKey was deprecated for a reason (only worked in IE,
as per the @Deprecated documentation in the JavaDoc), so you should
really find another, better way (I think the cancel + fire another
event is the "blessed" way of doing it now), unless you're only
targetting IE...
