/**
* KeyListener is a utility that provides an easy interface for listening for
* keydown/keyup events fired against DOM elements.
* @namespace YAHOO.util
* @class KeyListener
* @constructor
* @param {HTMLElement} attachTo The element or element ID to which the key
* event should be attached
* @param {String} attachTo The element or element ID to which the key
* event should be attached
* @param {Object} keyData The object literal representing the key(s)
* to detect. Possible attributes are
* shift(boolean), alt(boolean), ctrl(boolean)
* and keys(either an int or an array of ints
* representing keycodes).
* @param {Function} handler The CustomEvent handler to fire when the
* key event is detected
* @param {Object} handler An object literal representing the handler.
* @param {String} event Optional. The event (keydown or keyup) to
* listen for. Defaults automatically to keydown.
*
* @knownissue the "keypress" event is completely broken in Safari 2.x and below.
* the workaround is use "keydown" for key listening. However, if
* it is desired to prevent the default behavior of the keystroke,
* that can only be done on the keypress event. This makes key
* handling quite ugly.
* @knownissue keydown is also broken in Safari 2.x and below for the ESC key.
* There currently is no workaround other than choosing another
* key to listen for.
