:_keypress_

This event is used by Vedeu internally, though you can bind to it if you wish. It is preferred for you to bind to :key though.

When the name is given:

• The given key is passed to the named keymap. If the keymap is registered, and the key has an associated action assigned, then the action will be called/triggered.
• If the keymap is not registered, the key will be passed to the global keymap to be actioned, or ignored if the global keymap does not have an action assigned for the key pressed.

When the name is not given:

• The given key is passed to the named keymap associated with the interface/view currently in focus. If the key has an associated action assigned, then the action will be called or triggered, otherwise, the key is (as above) passed to the global keymap to be processed.

It is also to be noted, that a :key event will be triggered irrespective of the conditions above, you can bind to this event separately to 'do things'.

Vedeu.bind(:key) do
  # ... your code here ...
end

Alternatively, you can access keypresses entered using the following API methods: (See Vedeu::Input::Store for more details).
