Support for keyboard shortcuts to buttons would be really useful

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Keyboard shortcuts to invoke action buttons will save a lot of tabbing and 
moving around the screen to invoke a button.

Yes, that's a pretty good idea. I'll see how easy it would be to implement.

You should look at the key handling in JCurses. Each Widget has a handleInput 
method that returns true if the Widget actually handled the input, allowing it 
to bubble up the stack. That type of arrangement would make it easy to 
implement shortcut keys.

I've added an extra enum value so that components can declare if they have 
handled the event or not, at the moment you can only catch unhandled events by 
registering a listener on the window but I think there should be a way to catch 
them further down the hierarchy too.

This is now done, you can register shortcuts on any container component. Pushed 
and deployed.
