It's a crazy idea.

The F keys already have functions native to the browser, in IE for example:

  • F1 – opens the browser’s Help page
  • F3 – opens the browser’s Find function
  • F4 – drops down the browser’s address bar history
  • F5 – refresh page
  • F6 – puts focus into the address bar
  • F7 – allows you to turn carat browsing off/on (whatever that is!)
  • F10 – goes to the File menu
  • F11 – toggles full screen
  • F12 – toggles the Developer Tools

Even if you detect keystrokes the browser will still perform its native function.

You can do it if you write a plugin like ActiveX, Flash or Silverlight. Depending on the install the user will still have to grant permission to run executables.

You can try it your self:

Still remember that I don't think the actual behavior will change (so I you press F1 you might detect that but in IE still the help file will open). So take inot acount the usefullness/useability of your solution.
