Have you taken a look at the static Event.addNativePreviewHandler method?

Example:

Event.addNativePreviewHandler(new Event.NativePreviewHandler() {
@Override
 public void onPreviewNativeEvent(NativePreviewEvent event) {
switch (event.getTypeInt()) {
 case Event.ONKEYDOWN:
int keyCode = event.getNativeEvent().getKeyCode();
 // .....
}
}
});
