OnkeyEvent (onkeydown) for CKEditor

I am new to Javascript and CKEditor...I am looking for an example on how to capture the onKeydown event inside the CKeditor...a simple example displaying an alert box would be great! Basically, I would like to display a drop-down box as the user types in the editor.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

This is a way to capture onKeyEvent in IE:

editor.document.$.attachEvent('onkeydown', handleKeyDown);

function handleKeyDown(event)
{
alert('onKeyDown event captured!');
}

Cheers,

Kristin
