JavaFX equivalent to java.awt.EventQueue

Does JavaFX contain an equivalent to java.awt.EventQueue? For my application I need to intercept all GUI related events such as mouse and keyboard input, and so far I haven't been able to find a way to do it without attaching listeners to every GUI element.

This isn't quite the same as the question in your title, but to intercept all events, you can add an EventFilter to the Scene:

scene.addEventFilter(Event.ANY, new EventHandler<Event>() {
        @Override
        public void handle(Event event) {
            System.out.println(event);
        }
});

If you need to veto the event, call event.consume()
