Why would you need to work directly with html tags with GWT? You should do it with Javascript.
You just define your own class called keyboard and make it inherit from another component, like a Composite or a Flowpanel (so you can put whatever you want inside it) then you can attach EventHandlers to handle events such as keyboard presses and then check to see if the key pressed was indeed the character '2'. I haven't played with keyboard events in GWT so I'm unsure if it the EventHandler will fire for '2' pressed outside of that panel. If it only fires when the focus is on the panel then maybe your desired functionality requires to handle that event regardless of where the focus is on the page. You can do that by putting the eventhandler on a top level component that encompasses the entire page. There are other ways of doing this too if you think like a JS programmer. Upon this eventhandler being fired you would just set your keyboard panel to have focus. Cake, with GWT. Hope this helps.
