For a relatively small number of keys, like the VR3 silkscreen buttons, you can use button hotkeys. Create a button widget for each silkscreen button, and assign PG_WP_HOTKEY on the button to the PGKEY_* constant for the button. The button will recieve that key's events. It can be unattached to the divtree if you don't want to see it onscreen.
If you need something more complex, like getting up/down events, or responding to large numbers of keys, that's what this "input filters" code will provide.
