Thanks! I've noticed this a while ago, but I kept telling myself there had to be a cleaner way of doing this... guess not :(
Hardcoding, here i go!

Make a global accessor for your hotkey panel and make a KeyInput function for it, then call that KeyInput function and use the return value to determine whether the panel ate the keystroke or whether the keystroke should be processed by the engine (KeyInput returns 0 when the engine can't have the key and 1 when it can). I believe this is how you do what you want since once VGUI is overriding the keystrokes I don't think you can pass them back to the engine the way you want.
