yes it's possible.
but how? hmm, let's think: which object could do that? grabbing the keyboard...[keyboard]? argh, couldn't create; what now? actually i don't want the entire "keyboard" but just "keys", lets try [keys] - argh, couldn't create either; try [key]..couldn't..no wait this does something, let's have a look at the help.
alternative: hmm, let's think: which object could do that? grabbing the keyboard...[keyboard]? argh, couldn't create; what now? it really *should* be called keyboard, let's have a look at the list of objects (right-click on canvas, select "help"); it might be in here, but i cannot search this text-file, so forget it (ok, i could copy'n'paste the entire file into a text-editor and use the search in there, but who cares); what now? hmm, most objects have a help patch, so go to doc/5.reference/; whoa! there's a LOT of objects; keyboard,keyboard..let's have a look at "k", hmm: "key-help.pd" what's that, never heard of it, probably something useless; anyhow, i'll have a look at it, maybe it can serve me another time...

Hi IOhannes
I think it would have been enough to say that the "key" object does what Peter wants to do. Maybe your try and error way of finding the appropriate object works for you, but others prefer to ask a perfectly normal question (and expect to get a perfectly normal answer).

yes, this is possible. have a look at the [key], [keyup] and [keyname] object. use [select] or [route] to trigger events based on which key was pressed (or released).
