Nope, ontext only seems to be called when you click outside the view (maybe it's the same as onblur?).

I see this code sitting in LzInput6, which defines the LzInputText class:
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Register to be called when the text field is modified. Convert this
// into a LFC ontext event.
// @keywords private
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TextField.prototype.__onChanged = function ( ){
//this.__lzview.setText(this.text);
this.__lzview.ontext.sendEvent( );
}
Maybe you can register for the ontext event?

If I do something like the following:
<canvas>
<edittext>
<method event="onkeydown">Debug.write ('keydown', this.getText
())</method>
</edittext>
</canvas>
then what is printed in the debugger omits the effect of the current
key --- when I press 'a', the text field shows 'a' and the empty
string is printed; then when I press 'b', the text field shows 'ab'
and 'a' is printed. And the same with event="onkeyup".
Is there an elegant solution for this, or does one need to do
something gnarly such as set a timer when a key is pressed in order
to read the content on the next frame?
