It is apparently not possible to get direct keyboard events, or to even tell if
a hardware keyboard is present (until a view gets first responder with no
keyboardWillAppear notification).
There is no way to get raw keys like ESC, control keys or Command keys.
(I will leave this issue open until I verify nothing showed up in iOS 5 that
makes this possible.
I could intercept option-modified keys instead of command, but that would make
the assumption no one would every need to type the symbols/international
characters bound to those keys.)

There's a way to do this now in iOS 7:

Forgot to mention this, but arrow keys and ESC now work with a Bluetooth KB in
Frotz 1.7.1 if running on a device running iOS 7 or later.
I'm not closing this issue just yet because I also want to investigate other
shortcuts to make the menu system "drivable" using only the keyboard (Cmd key
shortcuts).
