On the SB3 every keypress goes directly to the server, there is no processing locally. In addition everything you see on the screen comes directly from the server. This is not true on the Touch, its a very different architecture. The GUI (key presses, touches and screen drawing) get handled by a program called squeezeplay running on the Touch processor. Key presses don't get "passed on" to the server, they get processed on the Touch, if squeezeplay determines they mean a change in the server it sends commands to the server to tell it to do something. In order to do what you are after squeezeplay would have to be modified to interpret your key presses appropriately and send the appropriate commands to the server. SP has an extension mechanism called applets which alows people to write code such as this and add them into SP. Applets are essentially the plugins for SP. If the function in question doesn't have a command that can be sent over the network it might take both a plugin in the server and an applet on the Touch.
