Keydown should be the event you are looking for...
Event.observe(window, 'keydown', function(ev) {
var key = (window.event) ? window.event.keyCode : ev.which;
switch(key) {
case Event.KEYUP:
this.moveUp();
break;
case Event.KEYDOWN:
this.moveDown();
break;
}
}.bind(this));
the window will keep firing this event as long as the key is pressed
so it will keep calling the moveDown-method. If you keep a reference
within your js object to the current selected item, you should be able
to take it from here...
