I experienced a similar problem and discovered that it had to do with the fact that *nothing* on the window had focus, so the keydown events never got processed. Arguably, the window itself should have focus and handle the events, but my workaround was to put a pagepanel on the window (since a pagepanel is invisible) and set it to accept focus. That cleared everything up.
