Dialog does not reveice key events.

I want to implement a simple confirm dialog with a primary button, that is clicked, when the user press the enter key. For that I extended the class Dialog, implement KeyNotifier and add a listener for the key down event.

The listener is never called.

I tried the same with getElement().addEventListener("keydown", ...), same result, nothing happens.

The following code is somehow a workaround for the dialog.

public class DialogImpl extends Dialog {
    private void init() {
        // ...
        getElement().getNode().runWhenAttached(ui -> {
		DomListenerRegistration keydown = ui.getElement().addEventListener("keydown", event -> finalSelectedPrimaryButton.click());
		addDetachListener(event -> {
			keydown.remove();
		});
	});
    }
}

Nevertheless, it should work somehow easier to react with a dialog on key events.

@Legioth thanks for the information, it seems to work.

My code: ComponentUtil.addListener(UI.getCurrent(), KeyDownEvent.class, event -> System.out.println("KeyDown"))

This returns a Registration, which needs to be removed in onDetach

Since Vaadin 14.5 this is fixed for Shortcuts when they target a Dialog component.
