title: Simulate an "ontype" event
body: <p>I want to simulate the Google Search effect that even with the search box not focused, the user can start typing and the input box will capture all keyboard strokes.</p>
  
  <p>I have looked for an <code>ontype</code> event, but haven't found anything. I know that the <code>event</code> object in callbacks for events like <code>click</code> has keyboard information, but I don't think this is what I'm after.</p>
