rbx,
Look up keyDown and keyUp in Lingo Dictionary, and also controlDown (and
perhaps commandDown and shiftDown). You'll be able to write a behavior that
does anything you want with the input, when a key is pressed. You may have
to intercept every keystroke, even though you're concerned with only one
letter, and build the text of the input field rather than letting Director
do it. It's a tedious process to code, but should not degrade the
performance of your movie greatly. I remap the entire keyboard for my
Russian language learning materials in D8, and even give the users a choice
of several keyboard layouts.
Your movie can inspect the "environment" system property, find out what the
current langauge setting is, and act accordingly.
Note that the behavior you write should be attached either to the field,
or, if there are several, it can be part of the frame script.
