Keypress in ASP.NET

Is it possible to detect keypresses without selecting anything on screen? I'm trying to make an online version of the Window's calculator. My searches so far have been fruitless; all I can find is how to detect keypresses in textboxes.

Set the focus on a hidden input element and catch the keypresses with javascript.

You should use a javascript library to intercept the keypress in a browser.

That's because in a web application that's the best you could do. You can intercept key presses only on elements that have the focus.
