Instance protocol:

 keyPressAction: aBlock

install a block as handler for keyPress events.
the block will get the windowEvent as argument,
and is supposed to return true if it handled the event,
false if not (so the event is processed as usual).

 keyReleaseAction: aBlock

install a block as handler for keyRelease events.
the block will get the windowEvent as argument,
and is supposed to return true if it handled the event,
false if not (so the event is processed as usual).

 processEvent: anEvent

process an event; if true is returned, the event is considered to be
'eaten' by the listener, and not passed to the view.
If false is returned, the event is processed as usual.
Here, the event is dispatched into one of the button*/key* etc. methods
